Bayer’s acquisition of Monsanto
Monsanto was an agrochemical company dedicated to the production of genetically modified seeds and other crop protection chemicals. The glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup is one of their best-known products. In 2016, after several offers, Bayer finalized a deal with a purchase value of 66 billion U.S. dollars, which translated into 128 U.S. dollars per share of the company.
Main competitors of Bayer CropScience
Syngenta is Bayer CropScience’s main competitor. In 2022, Syngenta derived over 16 billion U.S. dollars from crop protection chemicals, while seed sales amounted to some four billion dollars. Other leading companies in the crop protection sector include BASF and Corteva. The Agricultural Solutions business segment of German chemical company BASF generated a revenue of approximately 10 billion euros in 2023, whereas Delaware-based company Corteva Agriscience’s revenue surpassed 17 billion U.S. dollars in that same year. Corteva Agriscience was established as an independent company in 2019, after the spinoff of the DowDuPont conglomerate.
