2. Main Business or Products during the Reporting Period
Main Business
The Company is a global leader in crop protection, engaging in the development, manufacturing and
commercialization of a wide range of crop protection products, that are largely off-patent. The Company provides
solutions to farmers to combat weeds, insects and disease, and sells its products in over 100 countries, through
approximately 60 subsidiaries worldwide.
The Company's business model integrates end-customer access, regulatory expertise, state-of-the art global R&D,
production and formulation facilities, thereby providing the Company a significant competitive edge and allowing
it to launch new and differentiated products that meet local farmers and customer needs in key markets.
The Company's primary operations are global, spanning activities in Europe, North America, Latin America,
Asia-Pacific (including China) and India, the Middle-East and Africa.
The Company also utilizes its expertise to adapt such products also for the development, manufacturing and
commercialization of similar products for non-agricultural purposes (Consumer and Professional Solutions).In

products and (d) other non-material activities.
