On the one hand, consumers are looking for healthy, if not exclusively organic products, and tend to favor local sourcing. In this context, the use of so-called "chemical" pesticides is reduced, which tends to lower crop productivity and therefore favours the use of biostimulants, which mobilize nutrients that are not readily available in the soil.
