Agricultural testing helps ensure food safety and quality by detecting pathogens, chemicals, heavy metals, and other contaminants in soil and crop samples. It is a vital process in the food production cycle, enabling farmers to assess soil health, select high-yielding crops, and monitor the impact of fertilizers and pesticides on agricultural produce. Rising health concerns have increased demand for residue-free and chemical-free foods. This has prompted farmers to opt for soil testing and adopt integrated pest management practices for sustainable cultivation.

The global Agricultural Testing Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 6.1 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.7% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
