Volume of pesticide sold to farms South Korea 2010-2019
In 2019, there were 16.7 thousand tons of pesticides sold to farms operating in South Korea. According to the source, the high temperatures, humid climate conditions, and the consequential large population of various bugs and insects in South Korea resulted in high chemical pesticide use. However, the source also forecasted that usage amounts would hold at similar levels for the future due to the rise of eco-friendly agricultural products as well as the strengthening of product safety regulations.
