Summary
The research will address the current dearth of information available to policy makers on agvet chemical market issues that include: Key factors influencing agvet chemical price change and why the price of some groups of products have increased modestly while others have skyrocketed; Market place competition and key trends including the increase in the availability of generics; The range of chemicals available in Australia compared to international competitors in developed countries (Canada, the US and EU); The type, nature and significance of any gaps in Australian agvet chemistry; Reasons for differences in availability (e.g. current and potential market size, pest prevalence, conditions in the natural environment, registration costs, etc.); Mechanisms that may constrain or encourage chemical manufacturers to bring chemicals to Australia and or innovate new products for the Australian market; Be mindful of the reform of chemical registration that is currently underway.
