The company has reported worldwide outstanding results for 2012, with an increase of 13% (vs 2011) for the total sales (compared to 11% on average for the agricultural (AG) market), including seed sales with a 27% growth (vs 14% on average for the AG market) and crop protection sales showing a 10% growth (vs 9% average of AG market). The EBITDA increase was 7%, according to CCM’s latest monthly report, Crop Protection South America Monthly Report issued in March.
The main contributor to this growth is certainly South America (the second largest market worldwide, behind North America). Soybeans, corn, sugarcane, wheat, fruits, vegetables, sunflower oil seed and rice are grown in the tropical and subtropical climates of this region and the company offers a variety of crops protection and seeds to achieve the maximum yields and health protection, as well as for the livestock through pasture’s products.
A wide selection of herbicides, insecticides and fungicides meeting customers' needs, as well as trait technologies such as HERCULEX® and POWERCORE™ in corn and WideStrike™ Insect Protection technology in cotton, is available.
