“With an expected increase in population, urbanisation and a rapidly emerging middle-class, we must become more productive on our existing land base,” said Schickler, president of DuPont Pioneer. “That will require science-based, sustainable solutions for our farmer and food company customers.”
DuPont Pioneer plays a key role in DuPont’s plan to build a higher growth, higher value company, particularly the company’s strategic focus on extending its leadership and leveraging linkages in the science-driven segments of the agriculture-to-food value chains.
“Over the next five years, we anticipate about half of our growth in the agriculture segment will come from outside of North America focused particularly in the key markets of Latin America, Eastern Europe, India and China,” he said. “These are markets where we have a compelling value proposition for farmers and a strong position today from which we will continue to grow.”
The global seed pipeline reinforces an integrated approach to product development and highlights agricultural solutions through differential breeding, plant protection traits, corn agronomic traits, soybean output traits and hybridisation systems.
These solutions build on the recent product success of Optimum AQUAmax corn hybrids and Optimum AcreMax corn products validated by last year’s gain of more than one point in North America corn market share.
