Syngenta AG (SYT)

The following recently launched products illustrate our capability as a technology integrator and our commitment to the food chain:

• Dulcinea Farms LLC , following the acquisition of the minority shareholding, is a 100% owned subsidiary currently aimed at growing, distributing and promoting an assortment of premium watermelon and melon varieties. In 2005, sales volumes grew nearly 50% further strengthening the brand Dulcinea Farms™ and Pureheart^® within the fresh produce category of major retailers in the United States. Efforts to further strengthen the pipeline continue with test marketing of similar products in the United States, Europe and other parts of the world.
  
  
• 2005 saw the introduction of Agrisure™ GT – Syngenta’s proprietary glyphosate tolerance corn trait, and the establishment of GreenLeaf Genetics™ and Agrisure™ traits as new business channels for the expanded commercialization (beyond our proprietary seed brands) of our elite corn germplasm and proprietary traits.
  
  
• Syngenta is working with two partners in the United Kingdom in a pilot project to turn oilseed rape into electricity, using an NK ^® brand oilseed rape hybrid and Syngenta Crop Protection products. This is the first such commercial project in Europe.
  
  
• Our US Wheat programme has generated innovative White Wheat varieties, for example Platte, which allow flour to be produced with higher fibre and nutritional content for the baking industry.
