Switzerland · Chinese-owned agricultural group
Syngenta Group, headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, and Chinese-owned, develops products and technologies used from planting through to crop protection. Its businesses are Syngenta Crop Protection, Syngenta Seeds, ADAMA and Syngenta Group China. The portfolio combines new active ingredients and genetics with products based on off-patent chemistry. This breadth makes the group relevant both to growers and to agricultural distribution networks around the world.
The group combines crop protection research with plant breeding and seed production. Its businesses have their own portfolios and sales channels, so the name Syngenta Group describes a wider structure than any single product brand. Biological and digital solutions complement the products applied directly to crops, covering successive stages of the growing season. The four businesses are parts of one group rather than independent companies.

Syngenta Group reported sales of USD 28.4 billion in 2025, after intragroup eliminations. The figure includes Sinofert, the fertilizer business spun off at the end of 2025 and no longer consolidated from January 2026.
Does ADAMA belong to Syngenta Group?
Yes. ADAMA is part of the group, although it keeps its own brand and company identity.
Does the company only offer chemical crop protection?
No. Its portfolio also includes seeds, biological solutions, digital tools and agronomic services, and the specific offering varies by market.
