SYNGENTA RESPONDS TO CARGILL LAWSUIT
Sep. 12, 2014
Source: Syngenta news release
Syngenta today responded to the lawsuit filed against Syngenta Seeds, Inc. in Louisiana state court by Cargill.
Syngenta believes that the lawsuit is without merit and strongly upholds the right of growers to have access to approved new technologies that can increase both their productivity and their profitability.
The Agrisure Viptera® trait (MIR162) was approved for cultivation in the U.S. in 2010. Syngenta commercialized the trait in full compliance with regulatory and legal requirements. Syngenta also obtained import approval from major corn importing countries.
Syngenta has been fully transparent in commercializing the trait over the last four years. During this time Agrisure Viptera has demonstrated major benefits for growers, preventing significant yield and grain quality losses resulting from damage by a broad spectrum of lepidopteran pests.
