Insurers in the Agricultural Insurance industry have contended with poor investment returns and volatility in underwriting returns in recent years. Global warming is making its mark with the frequency of natural disasters, particularly flooding, on the rise, driving up claim volumes. Another consideration for insurers is the Solvency II directive before Brexit. The accumulation of such difficult conditions has led smaller insurers in the industry to diversify and focus on other high-margin insurance markets. Nevertheless, industry-wide revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.1% over the five years through 2024-25 to £1.8 billion, including estimated growth of 1.9% in 2024-25, while the average industry profit margin is anticipated to reach 6.1%. Although the increasing incidence of natural disasters offers a sound reason to seek insurance, the amount and variation of insurance products remain limited. The abundance of risk and the unpredictability of weather, policy and agricultural produce prices put off insurers from developing products, as their risk exposure is fairly large. This means the lack of private providers has put the National Farmers' Union at centre stage, dominating the market through NFU Mutual. Inflation has been a bone of contention for insurers in recent years, with agricultural prices seeing hefty rises amid supply disruptions and hot demand. This ramped up claims costs and resulted in many insurers raising premiums to offset any threats to profitability, supporting revenue growth in the two years through 2023-24. Although inflationary pressures are set to ease somewhat in 2024-25, agricultural product prices will remain elevated by historical standards, keeping premiums at their inflated levels. Revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 5.2% over the five years through 2029-30 to £2.3 billion, while the average industry profit margin is estimated to reach 3.9%. The rate of product development is set to speed up, pushing into new markets and contributing to industry revenue growth. The growing prevalence of the Internet of Things will improve operational efficiencies and help price agricultural risk more accurately. However, uncertainty lingers around the new Environmental Land Management scheme following Brexit, with the level of funding for farmers still hazy.

Agricultural product wholesalers contend with volatile crop yields and global commodity prices, changing government agricultural policies and changing customer demands. Over the five years through 2024, wholesalers’ revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.9% to reach €489 billion. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has introduced severe disruption to global commodity supply chains, driving huge price rises for wheat, other grains and fertilisers. In the EU, the average price of agricultural products soared by 24% between 2021 and 2022, according to Eurostat - cereal price inflation of over 40% was a key driver of this. Put off by sky-high prices, major buyers of cereal-based feedstuffs have sought out alternatives, contributing to a drop in demand and driving a sharp drop in prices (-18.4%) in the UK over the year through September 2023, as shown by data from the Office for National Statistics. In 2024, wholesalers’ sales will be dampened by low business sentiment, but high prices will keep revenue growing – it’s expected to climb by 0.8%. Wholesaling industries are typically characterised by a narrow profit margin, as they seek to ensure their prices are low enough to prevent wholesale bypass. To raise additional revenue and generate profit, wholesalers turn to providing value-added services like customised packaging and labelling solutions, rigorous quality control and traceability systems to provide assurance of the product journey. Over the five years through 2029, wholesalers’ revenue is anticipated to swell at a compound annual rate of 2.7% to €559 billion. Agricultural policies across many European countries are decoupling payments and output in favour for financial incentives for rewilding schemes and the creation of public goods, to the detriment of wholesalers. Consumer preferences for sustainable produce will intensify; wholesalers can capitalise on this by offering products aligned with these policies and preferences.

The UK Crop Protection Chemicals market is experiencing steady growth, projected to reach a substantial market size by 2033. While the exact 2025 market size is not provided, based on a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.31% and considering typical market growth patterns in the agricultural sector, a reasonable estimate for the 2025 market value could be in the range of £800-£1000 million. This growth is fueled by several key drivers, including the increasing prevalence of crop diseases and pests driven by climate change, the rising demand for higher crop yields to meet growing global food needs, and stricter regulations regarding pesticide residues in food products. Furthermore, the adoption of precision agriculture techniques and the development of innovative, environmentally friendly crop protection solutions are shaping market trends. However, the market faces certain restraints. Stringent environmental regulations aimed at minimizing the impact of chemical pesticides on biodiversity and human health pose a challenge. Fluctuations in agricultural commodity prices and concerns about pesticide resistance also impact market growth. Leading players such as Sumitomo Chemical Co Ltd, Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd, Bayer AG, and Syngenta are actively investing in research and development to address these challenges, developing more sustainable and effective crop protection products. Segmentation within the market is likely to include various chemical classes, application methods (e.g., foliar, soil application), and target crops. The forecast period of 2025-2033 suggests continued expansion, with significant opportunities for companies specializing in biopesticides and integrated pest management strategies. By focusing on sustainability and innovation, the industry can navigate the challenges and unlock further growth potential in this crucial sector. Key drivers for this market are: Seed Treatment As A Solution To Enhance Yield, Growing Awareness For Seed Treatment Among The Farmers; Rising Trend Of Organic Farming. Potential restraints include: Limitations Across Farm-Level Seed Treatment, Rising Environmental Concerns. Notable trends are: Increasing pests and disease infestations in the country are leading to severe yield losses and driving the market for different crop protection chemicals.

The FAO Food Price Index (FFPI) averaged 124.9 points in January 2025, down 2.1 points from December 2024. The highest value for the index in the past 23 years was reached in March 2022. However, the rate of food price increases has been decreasing since.

Food prices worldwide The annual FAO Food Price Index (FFPI) by category shows that the price of vegetable oils grew by a particularly large margin. One of the factors that influenced the spike in oil prices worldwide during 2020 and 2021 were the supply-chain disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, after the war in Ukraine, shipping costs and grain prices also had a noticeable impact on global food prices. Global food prices are calculated to have increased by 3.68 percent, due to changes in shipping costs and grain prices. The European Union (EU) has experienced a particularly high increase in the annual consumer prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages, as compared to other selected countries worldwide. Inflation in Europe

The inflation rate for food in the EU grew from 0.2 percent in May 2021 to 19.2 percent in March 2023, as compared to the same month in the previous year. In the following months, the food inflation started decreasing again, reaching 1.86 percent in April 2024. The overall inflation rate in the Euro area reached its peak in December 2022 at 9.2 percent. The rate has since fallen to 2.4 percent in December 2024. As measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), inflation rates in Europe were highest in Turkey, North Macedonia, and Romania as of December 2024.
