Corteva is a listed US crop protection company focused on agricultural chemistry and biologicals since its seed business separated in October 2026.
United States · Listed company following its seed business spin-off
Corteva, a listed company based in the United States, supplies products that protect crops from weeds, diseases and insect pests, alongside biological solutions and seed-applied technologies. Since spinning off its seed business on 1 October 2026, the company has centred on crop protection. The change matters for knowing which company owns which brand and for reading historical financial data, which covers the former combined group.
Corteva's business today covers the development of active ingredients, biological products and technologies applied to seeds. Seed treatment is different from seed breeding and sales: the seed and genetics business now operates as a separate company, Vylor, while Corteva keeps the crop protection focus. In 2025 the former group recorded total sales of USD 17.401 billion, a figure that also included the seed business.

## Size of the business

Corteva's Crop Protection segment recorded sales of USD 7.503 billion in 2025. This was the segment's figure before the separation, not a full-year result for Corteva as a standalone company.

### Is Corteva still a seed company?

No. Since the separation on 1 October 2026, Corteva has been a crop protection company. The advanced seed and genetics business operates as Vylor.

### Does seed treatment mean seed breeding?

No. Seed treatment means applying a technology to seed. Breeding and genetics concern the development of varieties and their characteristics.
