About
Corteva, Inc. is an Indianapolis, Indiana-based agricultural science company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CTVA) as an S&P 500 Materials component — developing and selling seeds (Pioneer brand corn, soybean, sunflower, and vegetable seeds) and crop protection products (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides under Enlist, Instinct, Zorvec, and other brands) to farmers across 140 countries through approximately 22,000 employees. Corteva was spun off from DowDuPont in June 2019 as the agricultural science component of the DowDuPont three-way breakup (materials science → Dow Inc., specialty products → DuPont de Nemours, agriculture → Corteva), combining the Pioneer Hi-Bred seed genetics legacy (acquired by DuPont in 1999 for $9.4 billion) with the Dow AgroSciences crop protection portfolio. In fiscal year 2024, Corteva reported revenues of $17.2 billion, with the Seed segment (corn, soybean, and specialty crop seeds) generating $9.3 billion and the Crop Protection segment (pesticides, herbicides, fungicides) generating $7.9 billion — though crop protection faced market headwinds from generic agrochemical price competition and grower inventory destocking as global commodity crop prices fell from 2022-2023 peaks. CEO Chuck Magro's strategy focuses on driving pricing power through genetic trait performance (Corteva's Qrome corn trait technology delivering 5-10 bushel/acre yield advantage driving premium seed pricing) and the Enlist weed control system (herbicide-tolerant soybeans paired with Enlist Duo herbicide through a closed IP system that bundles herbicide and trait royalty revenue).
Irving TX global construction/mining equipment manufacturer (NYSE: CAT) at $64.8B 2024 revenue; 5B+ autonomous haul truck tons with MineStar fleet management and Cat Command competing with Komatsu for global construction and mining equipment.
