ADVANCING AGRICULTURE WITH GREATER SIZE, SCALE AND CAPABILITIES

In 2017, FMC acquired select assets from DuPont Crop Protection, which included broadleaf cereal herbicides, broad-spectrum insecticides, research facilities, manufacturing sites and personnel.

Because of these acquisitions, FMC is now the fifth-largest crop protection company in Canada, with a well-balanced product lineup across all major Canadian crops – including cereals, canola, soybeans, corn, pulses and fruits and vegetables.

FMC Canada boasts a strong innovation pipeline and robust, in-house R&D capabilities that allow us to draw from our global efforts in developing locally adapted solutions that fit Canadian growers’ farms.

Since 2017, we have significantly increased our global manufacturing footprint and now have broader marketing and global supply chain capabilities.
