Syngenta Litigation
Syngenta AG has become embroiled in numerous lawsuits related to problems with its genetically modified (GMO) Viptera corn. Farmers and exporters are bringing claims that they suffered economic losses because of Syngenta’s intentional rush to market Viptera corn seed before getting approval from China and other U.S. trade partners. This resulted in numerous shipments of corn over more than a year’s time that were blocked by China and other countries. Farmers are understandably frustrated by a significant drop in the price of corn that correlates with China’s refusal of American corn shipments.
Syngenta knew that GMO corn seed like Viptera and Duracade had not yet been approved by these foreign markets and they knew the consequences of what could happen if it their actions were discovered. However, Syngenta believed that these new products would help their company boost their market share of the U.S. corn seed market from 5% to 20%. In other words, Syngenta placed their own interests ahead of the interests of farmers. Their poor judgment has cost American Farmers an enormous amount of money.
