Syngenta today announced plans to invest $77 million in the expansion of its corn seed production facility in Formosa, Brazil. Annual capacity will be quadrupled to 1.6 million bags by 2015.
Corn production in Brazil is expected to almost double by 2020, spurred by growth in the pork and poultry sectors.

Syngenta announced today [2/28/13] that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has fully deregulated Agrisure Duracade, enabling launch in the US for the 2014 planting season.
Agrisure Duracade expresses a unique protein to control corn rootworm. It has a different mode of action to Syngenta's existing Agrisure RW trait. When combined these traits provide unmatched insect control: USDA data show a tenfold reduction in Western corn rootworm beetle emergence and superior performance against all comparable traits.
