Reduced pest pressure in Latin America and Western Europe together with risk management measures in emerging markets resulted in lower insecticide sales.  KARATE® sales declined as a result of dry weather in Northern Europe and Latin America.  Sales of FORCE® increased as sales declines in the USA were more than offset by increasing corn rootworm pressure in Western Europe.  In Asia Pacific, sales of insecticides increased significantly supported by the successful roll-out of DURIVO®.

Strong demand for cereals and high levels of insect pressure in Europe led to good growth in sales of KARATE®. ACTARA® continued to expand, notably in Latin America. A decline in FORCE® sales in the USA as a result of increased rootworm trait penetration was partly offset by strong demand in Eastern Europe. US sales were also adversely affected by a sharp decline in cotton acreage.

ACTARA® continued to grow strongly notably in Latin America.  Sales of KARATE® showed strong growth particularly in the USA, where they benefited from a major outbreak of soybean aphids and from new opportunities for mixtures with fungicides.  The successful launch of DURIVO® in Indonesia marks a significant step in the strengthening of our rice portfolio. Growth of FORCE® in Europe due to the spread of corn rootworm more than offset a reduction of sales in NAFTA.

Insecticide sales rose in all regions, notably in Latin America, where climatic conditions require extensive treatments to avoid crop losses.  Sales also showed strong growth in Asia Pacific with the gradual substitution of generic products by more modern technologies.  Sales of ACTARA® increased by one third globally.  A reduction of sales of FORCE® in NAFTA was offset by growth in Europe with the spread of corn rootworm.

ACTARA® delivered strong growth in all regions, notably in Latin America. This was offset by lower sales of KARATE® in the USA in comparison with the previous year which benefited from an exceptional outbreak of soybean aphids. Sales of FORCE® grew strongly in Eastern Europe and gained share in the USA. PROCLAIM® benefited from strong demand on vegetables.

Insecticide sales were 10% higher in 2004, 7% at constant exchange rates, with 9% volume growth partly offset by 2% lower local currency prices. ACTARA® sales continued their broad-based increase in penetration in many markets. KARATE® sales benefited from the strength of the Latin American markets and from high pest pressure in Europe. US sales of FORCE® declined due to a reduction in demand for soil-based corn rootworm insecticides in favor of seed treatment; this was partially offset by increased sales in Eastern Europe.

Growth in insecticides was driven by strong performances in the USA and Brazil. In the USA sales of KARATE® almost doubled following an exceptional outbreak of soybean aphids in the second half. Sales of FORCE® were buoyant capitalizing on an increase in acres treated for corn rootworm. ACTARA® continued to grow strongly in Brazil and Japan.

After a strong start to the year, insecticides declined in the second quarter due to lower insect infestation in Canada and western Europe. US sales of FORCE® were buoyant throughout the first half due to an increase in acres treated for corn rootworm. Sales of ACTARA® and PROCLAIM® continued to expand in Asia.

Sales were 12% higher and 7% higher at constant exchange rates, with volumes 4% higher and prices in local currencies up by 3%. Sales showed strong growth despite the impact of range rationalization, which negatively impacted sales by 3%. ACTARA® continued its strong growth, particularly on cotton and soybean in the USA and Brazil and on rice in Japan and achieved sales of US$127 million. Sales of FORCE® were significantly higher with an increase in corn rootworm pressure in the USA. Growth in KARATE® was broad based. Sales of PROCLAIM® showed good growth in Japan, with expanded labels for vegetables, and in Australia, where the cotton market recovered after a drought in 2002. Sales of VERTIMEC® benefited from high pest pressure and gained market share, notably in the USA and Italy.

US sales of FORCE® declined due to a reduction in demand for soil-based corn rootworm insecticides in favor of seed treatment; this was partly offset by increased sales in Eastern Europe.
