Media statement, 30th September 2022

Today the Federal Trade Commission announced that it is initiating litigation against Syngenta and separately against another crop protection company, challenging certain US-based discount programs extended to their respective customers. These discounts are part of a voluntary and industry-standard program that has been in place for decades at Syngenta and other crop protection companies.   
 
Syngenta strongly disagrees with the FTC’s complaint, which it believes is contrary to the facts and the law and is without merit.   This program is only one of several incentive programs offered by Syngenta in the US, and we are disappointed that the FTC has failed to appreciate the beneficial effects that these rebate programs provide to our channel partners and to growers.
