Corteva

Corteva Agriscience is an American multinational company focused on agricultural biotechnology and agrochemicals. It was formed in 2019 as the agricultural business of DowDuPont and became an independent company on June 1, 2019, following the separation of DowDuPont into three entities. The company is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, and is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CTVA.

Corteva operates through three main business segments: Seeds, Crop Protection, and Digital Agriculture. The Seeds segment markets the Pioneer brand, offering corn, soybeans, and other crop genetics. Crop Protection develops and sells herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. Digital Agriculture provides data-driven tools and services to manage crop production and optimize inputs.

The company traces its lineage to DowDuPont's strategy to split into more specialized companies. Corteva inherited significant breeding programs and product lines from its predecessors, including seed genetics and crop protection portfolios. Since the spin-off, Corteva has pursued investments in biotechnology, sustainable farming practices, and global distribution networks to support farmers worldwide.

Corteva operates in numerous countries around the world and emphasizes sustainable agriculture, responsible stewardship of its products, and innovation in crop genetics and crop protection. It engages with farmers, researchers, and regulators to advance agricultural productivity while addressing environmental and social considerations.
