Every decade or so, any industry seems to have to undertake a fundamental shake-out.
This is now the case of the pesticides-cum-seeds sector.
Large strategic, financial, regulatory, and political uncertainties cast a shadow over the big six, in alphabetical order BASF, Bayer, Dow, Dupont, Monsanto and Syngenta, now chased by other important global players such as Adama (ChemChina + Makhteshim Agan), Arysta, FMC-Cheminova, Nufarm and Sumitomo, and United Phosphorus.
