On Thursday, February 25, 2010 CropLife America (CLA), the nation’s leading organization for the crop protection industry, released the results of a major study on the discovery, development and registration of new products designed to support modern agricultural production and fight pests and disease around the world. Conducted by agribusiness consultant Phillips McDougall and commissioned by CLA and the European Crop Protection Association (ECPA), the far-reaching report shows an increase of nearly 40% since 2000 in the private investment required to develop and launch these products.
