Five Trends from New Ag International

In April, AgriThority® joined more than 250 industry experts and stakeholders from more than 30 countries in Madrid to discuss opportunities, market trends and innovations in agriculture. Five trends emerged from the 2026 New Ag International Conference.

  1. Regulatory frameworks are evolving rapidly, but market access remains far from harmonized, particularly for biostimulants.
  2. Biostimulant innovation is advancing beyond conventional field trials, increasingly grounded in metabolomics-driven insights into mode of action.
  3. Innovation in fertilizers and biostimulants is converging around precision, circularity, and “compliance-by-design” philosophy, where formulation, and delivery systems are becoming just as important as the active ingredients themselves.
  4. Soil health is now firmly at the center of the conversation as foundational to global food production and food security.
  5. Decarbonization and nitrogen-use efficiency are becoming increasingly important drivers of innovation particularly in the chemical fertilizing products sector, as companies respond to sustainability pressures, emission reduction targets and evolving market expectations.
