I would like to add to the comment made above in respect to other countries in the world...notably the USA.

I will check back later with the hopes of seeing more data.

Respected Sir,

Greetings.

We did not get any pesticide consumption data regarding India. I think your classification based on different continets will be more useful than these arrangements.

Thanks for your support and asking feedback
