Japan ·
Nissan Chemical is a Japanese chemical group founded in 1887 and headquartered in Tokyo. Its activities span chemicals, performance materials, agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals, so the agricultural business is one division within a wider industrial company. The Agricultural Chemicals business develops, manufactures and sells crop protection products for farmland, green space management products for golf courses and parks, and drug substances used in external antiparasite medicines for animals.
For growers, Nissan Chemical is above all a source of active ingredients and branded crop protection products, including SIRIUS, STARMITE, LEIMAY, GRACIA, TARGA and PERMIT. Herbicides control weeds that compete with the crop for water and nutrients, while fungicides and insecticides protect yield and quality against disease and pests. Because the same technology can reach farms through local partners, a given active substance may be sold under different trade names in different countries.

Nissan Chemical had 3,411 employees on a consolidated basis at the end of March 2026. This covers the whole group, not only its agricultural business.
