Market Segmentation
Biochar is a charcoal derived by controlled heating of waste materials, such as agricultural waste, wood waste, forest waste, and animal manure.Biochar is primarily used in agricultural operations owing to its soil amending abilities. This is the largest application of biochar and is responsible for driving the overall market growth. Biochar is responsible for providing essential nutrients to the crop and, in turn, enhancing crop yield. It is very helpful in areas facing soil depletion, very limited organic resources, lack of access to agrochemical fertilizers, and insufficient water. The quality and quantity of food are the two important issues that are expected to be addressed with the development of biochar. The ability of biochar to provide and retain essential nutrients to the soil is expected to result in the growing product demand for improving soil fertility. Biochar, with its soil amendment abilities, has helped farmers and agricultural industry improve their crop yield and overall productivity.
Organic farming is expected to gain a lot from the use of biochar as it helps improve productivity by providing essential nutrients for plant growth. Biochar is an excellent carbon carrier, which enhances plant growth. Organic food sector witnessed significant growth over the past few years owing to rising health concerns among consumers. Organic vegetables and fruits witnessed a significant rise in demand over the past couple of years owing to their high nutritional value, low pesticide usage, and high sustainability. Organic products are generally perceived to have lower pesticide residues, as synthetic pesticides are prohibited in organic production. Consumers may view organic products as a way to promote sustainable and community-based agriculture.
Lack of awareness about biochar among consumers has been a major concern. Most of the farmers are still using synthetic pesticides for crop protection and enhancing plant growth. A large section of farmers across the world is still unaware of biochar advantages over other fertilizers and does not use biochar for soil amendment or crop growth. Farmers and consumers have to be educated by soil scientists and horticulturalists about the potential benefits of biochar. A robust biochar industry would only be possible if farmers and consumers are aware of the potential benefits of biochar over other fertilizers and its application as a soil enhancer. Farm planning and management, crop advisors, and representatives from various seed companies are some of the ways through which consumer and buyer awareness can be increased.
