UPL and FMC Corp collaborate on the active ingredient Rynaxypyr

The long-term strategic collaboration allows UPL to access key markets before the patent expires, in order to commercialize FMC Corporation’s main insecticide, Rynaxypyr active.

Pursuant to the agreement, UPL will manufacture and contract Rynaxypyr to FMC in India, and FMC will supply the active ingredient to UPL on a market basis. The agreement adds a key product portfolio to UPL’s business and helps FMC maximize the penetration of this important active ingredient.

FMC has continued to develop diamides significantly since their acquisition in late 2017, including once again achieving double-digit year-over-year growth. in 2020. We expect the diamide franchise to continue to grow above market rates, and our strategic partners are an important part of that growth. ”
