Feb 3 (Reuters) – Agrichemicals company Corteva missed Wall Street estimates for fourth-quarter net sales on Tuesday, weighed by lower sales volumes in its crop protection and seeds business.
Declining crop prices, weakening demand and heightened geopolitical tensions have squeezed profitability across the agricultural supply chain, pressuring agribusiness companies like Corteva as the sector navigated a challenging end to 2025.
Crop Protection volume slipped 2% on a seasonal shift in North America and timing of fungicide demand in Latin America, while seed volume fell 8% as some North American deliveries moved into early 2026 and Latin America pulled forward shipments.
The Indianapolis-based firm reported net sales of $3.91 billion during the period. Analysts on average had estimated sales of $4.24 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.
