The US Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general settled an antitrust case against pesticide manufacturer Corteva, requiring Corteva to end its pesticide loyalty program and allowing distributors to purchase more generic pesticide alternatives to lower prices for American farmers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Agtech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You now have a clearer path to supply generic pesticides in the US market as Corteva must stop tying distributor benefits to preferred products. This opens up pricing competition and market opportunities for alternatives.
