Monsanto Company Company Profile

An ear of corn the size of a Trident missile? Not quite, but Monsanto is all about bioengineered crops. The company helps farmers grow more crops like corn, cotton, oilseeds, and vegetables by applying biotechnology and genomics to seeds and herbicides. It produces genetically altered seeds that tolerate Roundup (its flagship product and the world's #1 herbicide) and resist bugs. The company also produces Asgrow, DEKALB, Deltapine, and Seminis seeds. During the past decade, Monsanto re-made itself into a seed and biotech company, as opposed to one focused on agrochemicals, a transition that was sped up with the acquisition of Delta and Pine Land.
