Syngenta Streamlines Costs Without Sacrificing Value to Customers

With all that goes into preparing for the new year, one worry that shouldn’t keep you up at night is the availability of crop protection products. At Syngenta, we believe the delivery of the right product to the right place at the right time lies squarely on our shoulders, not yours. That’s why we’ve been tapping into our expansive network of global and local resources for months to make sure a more limited supply of raw materials, combined with increasing transportation and energy constraints, doesn’t impede the flow of our products to you this year.

In today’s market, where commodity prices are low and the cost of growing crops is on the rise, the importance of what we do to assess supply and demand is amplified. Understandably, in this environment, price is becoming a more important factor in many purchasing decisions. But, like you, we don’t want pinching pennies at the beginning of the season to cost growers bushels at harvest.

New articles on this website describe what we’re doing to make sure you can extract the most value from your Syngenta product investment. In one article, you’ll see how we’re increasing operational efficiencies within our purchasing, manufacturing and distribution functions to aggressively manage our internal costs, without sacrificing the high level of quality and service you deserve. In another, you’ll read how we’re leveraging our long-term relationships with supplier and channel partners to ensure product availability and responsive, reliable delivery. As one article notes, our relationship-building efforts also extend to policymakers to make sure the product registration process remains science-based, so that growers have the tools they need to profitably manage their farms.

And in our Product Updates section, you’ll see how we’re continuing to invest in our portfolio, which includes 136 crop protection products and counting. These brands fit into various points along the price spectrum, giving you the flexibility to decide which product will give you the greatest return on investment.
