Syngenta recognizes that the India’s farmers need more tailored, integrated solutions to make agriculture an economically viable and rewarding way of life. In 2011 we moved away from a single product paradigm and developed fully integrated offers for key crops by bringing together our crop protection, seed care and seed portfolios. Building on the combined strength of our businesses, the company is embracing the farmer with one voice and one face, to deliver end-to-end integrated solutions on a global crop basis. Syngenta offers integrated solutions for key crops like corn, wheat, rice, vegetables, specialty, diverse field crops, soya bean and sugarcane.
Our ambition
Our ambition is to bring greater food security in an environmentally sustainable way to an increasingly populous world by creating a worldwide step-change in farm productivity. Our ambition encompasses the 8 million large farms worldwide with over 100 hectares as well as the 450 million small farms with 2 hectares or less.
Integrate
Create integrated offers in the field supported by agronomic expertise and a deep understanding of grower needs now and in the future
Syngenta has unrivaled portfolio breadth spanning crop protection, seeds, seed treatment and traits. Our aim is to develop offers that meet differing market requirements and have demonstrable benefits in the field. Environmental, societal and value chain developments have given rise to a plethora of choices and decisions for the farmer. With our expertise, we can help make growing crops simpler and more productive.
The benefits of the integrated strategy have been most pronounced in the emerging markets, which are driven by intensification and technology adoption. We have identified the key strategy success factors in these markets and will seek to replicate them more broadly. Importantly, we will build upon a number of new product launches to reinforce our customer relationships and to expand the scope of our integrated solutions.
Innovate
Bring strong new products to market and combine genetics and chemistry to create new solutions and business models
We maintain a clear focus on bringing strong new products to market. Each of these products offers multiple opportunities for combinations with the existing portfolio and for the creation of integrated solutions.
Outperform
Our goal is to create value for our shareholders by first creating value for our customers through higher yields and better use of resources
Every day, our customers are measuring the performance of our products in the field. In order to achieve our objective of market share gain, we need consistently to demonstrate the benefits of our portfolio not only to growers, but also to other participants in the value chain. We also need to sustain the flow of innovation and to design new offers that can be delivered at scale.
