Countries Benefiting from Best Trade Surpluses for Pesticides

The following countries posted the highest positive net exports for pesticides during 2025. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country’s total exports minus the value of its total imports. Thus, the statistics below present the surplus between the value of each country’s exported pesticides and its import purchases for that same commodity.

mainland China: US$9.3 billion (net export surplus up 13.7% since 2024)
United States: $2.8 billion (down -12.3%)
India: $2.5 billion (down -5%)
Germany: $1.9 billion (down -10%)
France: $1.8 billion (up 19.1%)
Belgium: $1.2 billion (up 12.5%)
Israel: $781.4 million (up 14.8%)
South Korea: $696.5 million (up 20.3%)
Spain: $662.2 million (up 4.9%)
United Kingdom: $391.3 million (up 50.2%)
Hungary: $341 million (up 10.1%)
Austria: $207.5 million (up 7.4%)
Singapore: $164.5 million (down -58.7%)
Japan: $120 million (down -29.1%)
Slovenia: $99.5 million (up 11.4%)

World-leading pesticides supplier, mainland China, earned the highest surplus in the international trade of pesticides. In turn, this positive cashflow confirms strong Chinese competitive advantage for this specific product category.

Countries Experiencing Worst Trade Deficits for Pesticides

The following countries posted the highest negative net exports for pesticides during 2025. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country’s total exports minus the value of its total imports. Thus, the statistics below present the deficit between the value of each country’s imported pesticides purchases and its exports for that same commodity.

Brazil: -US$5.1 billion (net export deficit up 17.9% since 2024)
Canada: -$1.9 billion (up 14.5%)
Australia: -$1.1 billion (down -3.5%)
Ukraine: -$670.3 million (down -20.4%)
Vietnam: -$601.9 million (down -27.3%)
Thailand: -$601.8 million (up 3.3%)
Mexico: -$601.1 million (down -6%)
Argentina: -$562.3 million (down -6.6%)
Russia: -$443.2 million (up 10.2%)
Romania: -$414.2 million (up 20.7%)
Philippines: -$413.6 million (up 10.7%)
Bangladesh: -$384 million (up 14%)
Ecuador: -$376.3 million (up 14.8%)
Peru: -$357.4 million (up 12.4%)
Chile: -$347.6 million (up 23.9%)

South America’s biggest country both in terms of population and land area, Brazil incurred the highest deficit in the international trade of pesticides. In turn, this negative cashflow highlights Brazil’s competitive disadvantage for this specific product category but also signals opportunities for pesticides-supplying countries that help satisfy the powerful demand.
