The Philippine expenditures for insecticides are greater than for other classes of pesticides followed by herbicides and fungicides. The fungicide market in 1981 was 100% greater than the 1977 market. Herbicide expenditure has been nearly steady for the last five years.
Pesticide consumption is mainly for crop production and for public health and a small percentage for the control of structural and stored product pests.
For crop production, the major users of pesticides are the rice and vegetable farmers followed by the banana, pineapple and mango growers.
The main use for public health is for the anti-malarial programs of the government. The control of household and structural pests is entrusted to private pest control operators.
As more and more integrated pest management schemes are developed for the major crops in the Philippines coupled with the gradual withdrawal of government financing and stricter pesticide regulations, the amount of pesticide use will slightly decrease in the coming years, unless otherwise the market of our export crops is expanded and new export crops are developed.
