Sales of agrochemical products totalled 31.4 million pounds sterling in 1993, with herbicides accounting for 14.7 million pounds sterling. Sales of growing media were affected by deep discounting of major brands at garden centres and DIY sheds in 1993, with the growth in own-label products affecting value sales of the sector.
