Godrej Agrovet Limited is expanding its crop protection portfolio to counter the slowdown in the agrochemical industry. With new product launches like TAKAI for rice and maize, and a third manufacturing facility at Dahej, Gujarat, the company aims to boost farm productivity, broaden crop coverage, and revive growth momentum.
Facing a prolonged demand slowdown in the agrochemical sector, Godrej Agrovet Limited has unveiled a strategic plan to revive growth by strengthening its crop protection business. The company is expanding its portfolio from 5–6 major crops to nearly 10, introducing new products and label expansions to meet diverse farmer needs.
One of the key launches is TAKAI, a pesticide designed for rice, maize, and other crops, offering effective protection against pests. To support these innovations, Godrej Agrovet is setting up its third manufacturing facility at Dahej, Gujarat, which will enhance production capacity and ensure timely supply.
