Micronutrients such as copper, iron, zinc, and boron, are considered as essential elements for plant growth and play an important role in balanced crop nutrition. They are essential for plant nutrition along with primary and secondary macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Although plants require micronutrients in minute quantities, deficiency of any one of these in soil can limit the growth of plants, even after presence of adequate amounts of all the other nutrients. Unavailability of micronutrients inhibit the critical functions of crops that can lead to abnormality, slow growth, and reduced yield. The requirement of effective fertilizers due to poor soil quality acts as a major driver of the crop micronutrients market.
Increasing in population and strengthening economy of Canada have fueled the consumption of food. It is crucial to maintain the nutrient level in crops & soil to enhance the productivity and growth of crops. To produce enough food for population in Canada with available cultivable land, farmers are incorporating micronutrients with other essential ingredients for agriculture in the form of fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers that consist of micronutrients protect crops from insects and UV radiations, as well as offer increased yield. Thus, lack of micronutrients can lead to various diseases in plants such as chlorosis, yellowing of leaves, and gummosis, which, in turn, is likely to hamper the quality and yield of plants.

Factors such as increase in need for quality and uniform crop yield due to population expansion and decrease in cultivable land fuel the demand for agricultural micronutrients. In addition, surge in use of micronutrients for various crops such as cereals & grains, fruits & vegetables, pulses, and oilseeds through various application such as fertigation, soil, foliar, and seed treatment is expected to boost plant immunity, thereby driving the growth of the crop micronutrients market in Canada. However, mining of micronutrient reserves and lack of awareness among farmers regarding dosage and proper application of micronutrients are expected to restrain the growth of the crop micronutrients market in Canada. On the contrary, the adoption of new methods of farming for improving productivity is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for micronutrient fortified products.
