Syngenta still stands in the first place of the ranking, with full-year sales of $10.923 billion. The company posted growth across all sales regions, especially in Americas. Sales of non-selective herbicides registered a 24% rise to $1,545 million driven mainly by TOUCHDOWN®. Fungicides sales reached $3,035 million. The main contribution to growth came from SEGURIS®, the new SDHI fungicide for cereals, for which sales almost tripled.
