Brazil Mancozeb Fungicide Market Overview:
The Brazil mancozeb fungicide market was valued at USD ** million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD ** million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of **%. Mancozeb is a key broad-spectrum contact fungicide used in fruits, vegetables, potatoes, sugarcane, and grains. Due to its cost-effectiveness and multi-site mode of action, it remains widely used to manage resistance-prone fungal pathogens, particularly in citrus, banana, and tomato cultivation.

• Factors influencing market performance, including sustainability trends
Market Growth Factors
Demand for mancozeb is rising due to its role in resistance management programs. Unlike single-site fungicides, mancozeb is less prone to resistance, making it a crucial component in rotational fungicide programs. Brazil’s fruit and vegetable sector, which produced over ** million tonnes in 2023, relies heavily on mancozeb to combat leaf spot, early blight, and anthracnose. Increased exports of bananas and citrus, particularly to the EU and Middle East, have led to greater adherence to internationally accepted fungicide protocols.
Market Restraints & Challenges
One major challenge is regulatory pressure due to environmental and occupational health concerns. The EU has moved to restrict mancozeb, raising concerns over future market access. Brazil has increased its monitoring of dithiocarbamate residues on produce. Additionally, newer fungicide chemistries with systemic action are replacing mancozeb in high-value horticultural segments. Application uniformity and weather-related wash-off risks further limit its efficiency in some regions.
Market Segmentation
The market is segmented by crop into fruits and vegetables (**%), sugarcane (**%), potatoes (**%), and cereals (**%). By formulation, wettable powders and water-dispersible granules are dominant, although liquid suspension formulations are emerging. Regions like São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Bahia account for significant usage, especially in citrus and tomato clusters. Mancozeb is often used in pre-symptom spray regimes and as a tank-mix partner with triazoles and strobilurins.
Competitive Landscape
Key players include UPL, Indofil, Bayer, BASF, and local suppliers like Iharabras. UPL, with its Dithane brand, maintains over **% market share. Strategic imports from India and China supplement domestic production. Market share is also being influenced by bundling strategies with foliar nutrition and resistance management packages. Distributors with regional knowledge and training programs for residue-safe application are expanding rapidly.
Outlook
While regulatory risks persist, mancozeb will remain a cornerstone of resistance management in Brazilian agriculture. Growth is expected in combination packs, micronutrient-fungicide blends, and smart formulations with rainfast properties. As demand for export-compliant and safe produce increases, stewardship and proper usage of mancozeb will be essential. R&D efforts will focus on reducing application rates while retaining efficacy.
