The EPA website has lots of information on the market for pesticides, albeit a little dated: "The pesticide industry is quite significant in dollar terms. Annual expenditures by users of pesticides totaled $11.9 billion in 1997 (conventional pesticides plus sulfur, etc.). Of this, 70 percent was for use in agriculture (a total of $8.3 billion an average of nearly $4,400 per farm in the U.S. 1.9 million farms). The U.S. total of $11.9 billion equals $44 per capita. The average U.S. household spent about $20 for pesticides applied by the homeowner. (This does not include expenditures for pesticides applied to homes and gardens by others for hire.) The U.S. accounts for nearly one-third of pesticide user expenditures world wide." http://www.epa.gov/oppbead1/pestsales/97pestsales/intro.htm#overview Follow the above link for more detailed information and tables of data for 1996 and 1997. |
