Enriching Lives And Creating A More Efficient Food System In Africa Middle East

Food is the most basic human need, the engine of life, and the prerequisite for progress. Agriculture, which produces it, is the foundational industry, the springboard for economic growth and societal development. The continuing impact of population growth, urbanisation and erratic weather are among Africas greatest challenges. At the same time, this is also an area of profound opportunity for Africa, which has 60% of the worlds uncultivated arable land. There is a need to increase productivity manifold to meet requirements of growing populations across Africa.

Corteva Agriscience™, the Agriculture Division of DowDuPont™, brings together DuPont Crop Protection, DuPont Pioneer, PANNAR® and Dow AgroSciences to create a market-shaping, standalone agriculture company with leading positions in Seed Technologies, Crop Protection and Digital Agriculture.

Corteva Agriscience™ will play a leading role in helping utilize natural resources to achieve food security and become self-sufficient. “Farmers in Africa Middle East have unique needs and our balanced portfolio of products in the industry, nearly a century of agronomic expertise and an unparalleled innovation engine will help the entire food system to produce a secure supply of healthy food,” says Prabdeep Bajwa, regional director, Africa Middle East.

The company works across the global agriculture value chain to create a more efficient and productive food system. The company will continue to invest in some of the most recognised and premium brands in agriculture, such as Pioneer® and PANNAR® seed brands, as well as award-winning crop protection products that help farmers maximise their crop yields as well as the environment. These include Acanto® Plus fungicide, Closer™ 240 SC with active Isoclast™ and Spinetoram™ based insecticides, while bringing new products to market through a solid pipeline of active chemistry and technologies.
