Products businesses, the effects of the economic downturn were clearly
apparent in the golf course and professional horticulture segments, where
customers purchased more cautiously.

Syngenta -- July

This excerpt taken from the SYT 6-K filed Feb 8, 2007. Professional Products were up 18 percent with strong growth in Seed Care supplemented by a good performance in Lawn and Garden. In August the ornamentals business was augmented by the
acquisition of Conrad Fafard, Inc.
EBITDA increased by one percent (CER) to $1509 million, as sales growth and operational savings more than offset the impact of higher oil price-related costs and increased marketing and development expenditure.
This excerpt taken from the SYT 20-F filed Mar 1, 2006. Professional Products: major brands CRUISER®, DIVIDEND®, HERITAGE®, ICON®, MAXIM®
Professional Product sales were 9% higher in 2004, 6% at constant exchange rates with volumes overall growing 7% but local currency prices 1% lower. Volume growth was reduced by 2% due to reduction in the number of products on the sales range. Seed treatments continue to gain in popularity among growers in all regions. The main driver was the further success of CRUISER® in the USA, and on soybeans in Brazil. Fungicide seed treatments also grew strongly, notably MAXIM® in Brazil and France. Turf product sales improved with better weather conditions in the USA and an expansion in direct sales to golf courses in Japan.

HERITAGE® performed well on turf in the USA and Japan. In Home Care, professional pest management and materials protection also contributed to growth.

The continued rapid expansion of Seed Treatment was complemented by sales growth in a number of other businesses. In Seed Treatment, CRUISER® was the main driver with further growth in the USA, following its launch on soybean, and in Europe. DYNASTY® was launched successfully in the US cotton market and will be complemented in 2006 by the launch of AVICTA® an innovative nematode control product.

Professional products grew strongly at 9% (4% at constant exchange rates) with volumes 3% higher despite being adversely impacted by 3% due to range rationalization and prices in local currencies 1% higher. Seed treatment continued its strong growth particularly in North America, Brazil and Argentina. The main driver was CRUISER®, which increased sales by over 50%. MAXIM® benefited from strong demand in soybean and corn. Turf and Ornamental sales were adversely affected by phase-outs and by cool US weather. Public health sales were stable with good sales of ICON® for vector control in Asia and Africa offsetting low pest pressure in the USA. First US sales of IMPASSE®, the innovative termite barrier, were made. 47 This excerpt taken from the SYT 6-K filed Feb 15, 2005.
