杜兰特最新消息：DuPont Latest News

美国化学巨头DuPont recently announced that it has completed the spin-off of its agriculture business, creating a new company called Corteva Agriscience. This move marks a significant milestone in DuPont''s efforts to focus on its core businesses and create value for shareholders.

As part of the spin-off, DuPont transferred its agricultural products and seed assets to Corteva Agriscience, which will operate independently under the leadership of Jim Collins, former head of DuPont''s agriculture business. The new company is expected to be a major player in the global agriculture industry, with a portfolio that includes corn, soybean, cotton, and other crop protection products.

DuPont''s CEO Ed Breen stated that the spin-off of its agriculture business is a key part of the company''s strategy to focus on its core businesses and create value for shareholders. "This transaction marks an important step in our efforts to simplify our portfolio and focus on our most strategic and profitable businesses," he said.

The spin-off is also expected to benefit Corteva Agriscience, which will have greater autonomy to make decisions and take actions that are best for its business. Jim Collins, CEO of Corteva Agriscience, stated that the company is excited to be a standalone entity and to focus on delivering value to farmers and customers around the world.

The spin-off was completed in accordance with the terms of DuPont''s merger agreement with Dow Chemical Company, which was announced earlier this year. The combined company, DowDuPont, will operate as a holding company for the three business segments: materials science, agriculture, and specialty products.
