Through “coordinated synergy”, this merger gives birth to the only one multinational which “sets foothold in China and embraces the whole world” in crop protection industry.

The successful merger of Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd. and Hubei Sanonda Co., Ltd. is an important action taken by ChemChina Life Science Business Unit to intensify the integration and synergy effects.
