ADM, Syngenta MOU Supports Low Carbon NextGen Oilseeds


   
   OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) --- ADM and Syngenta Group have signed a memorandum of 
understanding to collaborate in scaling research and commercialization of 
low-carbon intensity next generation oil seeds and improved varieties to help 
meet demand for biofuels and other sustainably-sourced products.

   The MoU envisions a collaboration in which ADM and Syngenta would leverage 
their existing capabilities to accelerate the research, processing, and 
commercialization of new, low carbon-intensity oilseeds, such as Camelina, that 
are typically grown in the fallow period of a crop rotation. The companies have 
broad capabilities including: Syngenta's R&D engine, which offers biotechnology 
support, seed treatments and biologicals that further reduce the carbon 
intensity of crops, and agronomic knowledge from a network of local, field 
experts combined with excellent farmer relationships; ADM's global scale and 
logistical expertise, including unparalleled production and storage 
capabilities, a vast logistical network, and relationships with growers and 
customers spanning food, feed, fuel, industrial and consumer products.

   ADM and Syngenta envision fostering partnership with additional companies to 
support the creation, commercialization, and processing of next-generation 
oilseeds.

   The companies expect to sign definitive agreements by the end of the year 
and are already advancing important work together around growing and processing 
next-generation varieties.
