Asian distributors are adding biostimulants and biocontrol to help growers handle heat stress and meet residue limits, as shown by Kimitec's 2025 distribution deal in Japan. Vietnam's fruit sector, including durian, mango and citrus, relies heavily on flowering and fruit-set inputs, a category where natural biostimulants are gaining share.
