The agricultural chemicals business centers
on the production and distribution of herbicides,
insecticides and fungicides for the Japanese
and overseas markets. Nissan Chemical sells
various agricultural chemicals to over 60
countries throughout the world via our Japanese
and overseas business locations and/or sales
networks. These include unique products such
as the herbicides TARGA, SIRIUS and PERMIT
and the insecticides SANMITE and MITO-KOHNE.
In 2002, we took over the domestic herbicide business of the Monsanto Company as a part of our agricultural business enhancement measures and added ROUNDUP to our product line. Furthermore, we are steadily strengthening our sales system in North America and working on establishing domestic and overseas business infrastructure through the establishment in 2004 of the Canyon Group LLC as a joint venture with Gowan Company in the United States.
In addition, LEIMAY, a fungicide, and STARMITE
, an acaricide, were launched in 2008 and
in 2009 respectively.
We will put our efforts into the creation
of new agricultural chemicals that are active,
safe and pose less of an environmental load
for a wide range of major world crops while
being quickly corresponding to the market
needs and the environmental changes in the
agricultural industry. |
