Syngenta CEO Interviewed on 2009 Full Year Results

LONDON, February 5  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Herbicides and seeds business Syngenta has announced its full year results for 2009 and pointed to a series of external factors which led to a drop in profits.

An interview with Mike Mack, Syngenta CEO, is now available at http://www.cantos.com/company/syngenta.

The Swiss-based company had to contend with a weaker dollar and higher commododity prices but, despite this, recorded market share gains in its Crop Protection business and strong growth in its Seeds business.

And with a confident outlook to the future where the world's growing population places ever greater demands on the earth's farmland and water needs, Chief Executive Mike Mack said: "We expect that volumes are going to be up in 2010 and our new product growth is going to continue to have a lot of momentum. So, taken together, we think that we're going to have earnings growth on the back of the business."
