AGRIPULSE - VRYBURG - Die wêreldwye kunsmismark word verwag om te groei van $199.82 miljard in 2024 na $279.52 miljard teen 2033, met ‘n saamgestelde jaarlikse groeikoers (CAGR) van 3.80%. Hierdie groei word aangedryf deur toenemende voedselvraag, die behoefte aan grondvrugbaarheid, en die gebruik van gesofistikeerde kunsmis vir verhoogde gewasproduksie. Kunsmis speel ‘n sleutelrol in die bevordering van grondvrugbaarheid en gewasopbrengs. Dit verskaf essensiële voedingstowwe soos stikstof, fosfor en kalium (NPK) wat noodsaaklik is vir plantontwikkeling. Kunsmis kan sinteties of organies wees, en kom voor in verskeie vorms soos korrels, vloeistowwe en stadige-vrystelling formulerings.
