Executive summary
The board is exploring strategic options, including a potential sale, while executing a base plan focused on debt reduction, portfolio competitiveness, and new active ingredient growth; the review is at a preliminary stage with no assurance of outcome.
2025 saw a subdued crop protection market due to excess capacity and weak grower margins, with challenging conditions expected to persist into 2026.
The portfolio is largely off-patent, but new active ingredients are expected to scale up over the next three years.
2026 operational priorities include strengthening the balance sheet, managing post-patent RynaxypyrⓇ, and driving new product growth.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
