Syngenta

Syngenta is a multinational agricultural company that specializes in providing innovative and sustainable solutions to help farmers grow and protect their crops. The company's management headquarters are located in Basel, Switzerland and it is owned by ChemChina, a state-owned enterprise based in China.

Syngenta was established in 2000 after the merger of the agrichemical businesses of Novartis and AstraZeneca. Since its inception, Syngenta has been committed to delivering high-quality seeds and pesticides that meet the evolving needs of farmers worldwide. In 2017, ChemChina acquired Syngenta, which led to the formation of the Syngenta Group in 2020. The new entity brought together Syngenta, Adama, and the agricultural business of Sinochem under a single umbrella.

Syngenta's product portfolio comprises a broad range of pesticides, including selective and non-selective herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and specialty crop products such as corn, soybean, and biofuel. The company employs over 30,000 people globally and operates in more than 90 countries.

Syngenta's primary goal is to advance sustainable agriculture and promote more responsible use of natural resources. Its innovative research and development activities focus on creating new technologies and solutions that address the challenges faced by farmers today. These include adapting to the effects of climate change, improving soil health, enhancing biodiversity, and responding to societal demands for safe and sustainable food production practices.
