Abstract
The market value of pesticides used in rice was estimated to be U.S. $2.4 billion in 1988 (Woodburn, 1990). Japan was the largest consumer, accounting for 59 percent of the market, followed by South Korea (10 percent) and China (6 percent). The Philippine market was about U.S. $48 million in 1988, with insecticides and herbicides accounting for 58 percent and 35 percent, respectively.
