This excerpt taken from the SYT 6-K filed Feb 8, 2007. Field Crops: major brands NK®, GARST®, GOLDEN HARVEST® corn and oilseeds, HILLESHÖG® sugar beet
Corn & Soybean sales were affected by first quarter production-related issues in corn and by end of season channel adjustments in soybean. Diverse Field Crops performed well with strong growth in sunflower in Eastern Europe, and oilseed rape in Germany and the UK driven by demand for biodiesel. Sugar beet sales were lower in Western Europe due to reform of sugar subsidies; this was largely offset by growth in Eastern Europe, notably Russia.

Sales of corn and soybean grew across all regions: GARST® and GOLDEN HARVEST® made a successful first year contribution in the USA and market share was maintained; growth excluding these acquisitions was 20 percent (CER). In oilseeds, sales of NK® sunflower were up strongly, with gains in Eastern Europe benefiting from increased demand for biodiesel. Sugarbeet sales also increased in Europe.

Sales were 11% higher in 2003, 2% when expressed at constant exchange rates due to higher prices. NK® corn sales performed strongly, driven by Latin America, but volumes overall were 12% lower in the fourth quarter due to delaying sales to the distribution channel in the USA and Canada to align more closely with grower consumption. Sunflower and oilseed rape showed strong growth in Europe; soybean sales increased, notably in NAFTA. These improvements more than offset a decrease in HILLESHÖG® sugar beet mainly attributable to declining EU acreage. Sales of genetically modified products accounted for 17% of total Seeds product sales. 48

Sales of NK® corn grew across all regions. Demand for NK® soybean was strong throughout the year, although reported sales were lower due to the alignment of fourth quarter sales closer to consumption in the USA for the coming season. In oilseeds NK® sunflower performed well; sugar beet sales increased in buoyant Eastern European markets.
