Overview
Syngenta helps to feed the world. The company is at the top of its industry along with Bayer CropScience and Monsanto as the world's largest agrochemical business. Syngenta produces crop protection products (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides), field crop seeds (soybeans), vegetable seeds (corn, beans, tomatoes), and flowers. Syngenta and Myriad Genetics have mapped the rice genome, which could make rice crops more resistant to disease and lead to the genetic mapping of other cereals like wheat and corn. Since the mid-2000s, Syngenta has made a point of building up its seeds segment through more than a dozen acquisitions.
