in New Orleans, USA.
During the meeting, Vern Hawkins, president of crop protection at Syngenta
, discussed supply chain and other grower concerns.
He said 2023 will be like this year, and securing the supply of certain herbicides can be a challenge for farmers and the cost of crop protection products will be higher
.
He also mentioned the company's ongoing lawsuit, which may affect growers
in the future.
In addition
, information on new products was introduced.
During the event, media also visited Guanzengenta's main crop protection production and packaging plant in San Gabriel, Louisiana, which produces atrazine and other products
.
The following is the content of the media interview:

What would you like farmers to know about 2023, especially when it comes to crop protection product availability?
What would you like farmers to know about 2023, especially when it comes to crop protection product availability?
Hawkins: 2023 will be another challenging year
.
I think some product availability will improve, but others will still be limited
.
We have been working with our retail partners to ensure that we have a good customer purchase plan forecast
.
I think farmers need to stay in close contact with their suppliers so that they can source inputs and meet their planting needs
.
For some herbicide ingredients, shortages are diminishing in some parts of the supply chain, but many ingredients are still in a state of undersupply, making it difficult to produce some products
ahead of the planting season.

What specific crop protection products did you mention? What agrochemicals might farmers want to target?
What specific crop protection products did you mention? What agrochemicals might farmers want to target?
Hawkins: It's a bit difficult
to work on a product.
However, we found that some corn herbicide chemicals have supply constraints
because all suppliers need raw materials.
What we need most to do is understand the farmers' intentions to use the herbicides, because we still adjust the proportion of these active ingredients that are mixed in the final product, and we have quantitative active ingredients used to make the products
that farmers plan to buy.
This is an important part of
our supply chain plan, which is currently underway.

Hawkins said the raw materials used to make chloroacetamide herbicides, the active ingredients isometolachlor, acetochlor and alachlor in Group 15 products, have been difficult to obtain

What should farmers expect in terms of crop protection product pricing in 2023 and beyond?
What should farmers expect in terms of crop protection product pricing in 2023 and beyond?
Hawkins: Prices will continue to rise
in 2023.
Depending on the type of product, the price range can be quite wide, but typically it can be in the single digits or close to 10%.
Many farmers may have seen it
.
The biggest reason is that the price of raw materials has increased costs, and logistics is still expensive
.
Hopefully, with 23 to 24 years, there will be some reduction in these costs
