This study aimed to analyze the Harmonized Risk Indicator to study the potential risks for the pesticide business in the EU-27 (European Union-27). This study also focused on total pesticide sales to observe the progress of pesticide business in the EU-27 toward pesticide risk reduction. Data for pesticide sales for the EU-27 was obtained from the Eurostat database from 2011 to 2021. Data was analyzed for trends and regression using Microsoft Excel. The finding revealed that the pesticide market in EU-27 has grown significantly in previous years, and the trend has recently declined. Overall, pesticide sales increased in 2011 in EU-27 and decreased between 2012 and 2103. Sales increased significantly in 2014, 2016, and 2018. However, in 2019, sales saw a drastic decline; that could be a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Again, a rise in sales from 2020 to 2021 was observed, but in 2022, a remarkable decline was observed in the pesticide business in EU-27. This study also discussed the risk reduction index based on the type of pesticide used, and analysis of the harmonized risk indicator showed that EU-27 has been very concerned with reducing the risk to human health and the environment from pesticides since 2011 and is using low-risk active substances and microorganisms to combat pests instead of active and toxic chemicals. It was concluded that the EU- 27 pesticide business fluctuated significantly by 2022, and rising food production demands and sustainable agricultural practices drove the risk reduction index.
