About Syngenta
Syngenta, one of the world’s largest agribusiness companies, plays a pivotal role in shaping modern agriculture by providing farmers with cutting-edge crop protection solutions, high-quality seeds, and agronomic services. With a deep commitment to enhancing crop yields, Syngenta’s mission centers on advancing sustainable farming practices to meet the challenges of global food security, environmental protection, and climate change. Headquartered in Switzerland, Syngenta operates in over 100 countries, serving farmers of all sizes and addressing both local and global agricultural needs.
Syngenta’s roots date back to the early 20th century, with the company emerging from the merger of two major agricultural powerhouses: Novartis Agribusiness and Zeneca Agrochemicals in 2000. Both companies were already leaders in their respective fields—Novartis in chemicals and biotechnology, and Zeneca in crop protection. This merger created a dynamic entity with the resources, research capabilities, and global reach to innovate at the cutting edge of agricultural science.
