The new “pure-play” agribusiness formed from the DowDupont merger is excited to support both producers and consumers.

And the company has a new name: Corteva Agriscience. Corteva is a combination of words “Cor” that suggests “core” or “heart” of the earth and “Teva” which is an ancient word which means “nature.”

“That’s what Corteva means – heart of nature,” Bryce Eger, Corteva’s commercial unit leader for Canada, told Farms.com.

Corteva also has a new purpose statement.

Specifically, the company aims “to enrich the lives of those who produce and those who consume, ensuring progress for generations to come,” Eger said. “We also want to make sure that we make things better as time goes on.”

Producers can purchase seed, crop protection products and digital services from Corteva Agriscience.

A 90-day tariff pause with China, cutting rates from 145% to 30%, has renewed investor confidence in Trump’s trade agenda. U.S. deals in the Middle East, including NVDA and AMD chip sales, added to the optimism. Soy oil futures rose on biofuel hopes but turned volatile amid rumors of lower RVO targets, dragging down soybean and canola markets. A potential U.S.-Iran deal weighed on crude, while improved weather in the Western Corn Belt is easing drought fears. The U.S. also halted Mexican cattle imports again due to screwworm concerns. Funds are now short corn and adding to long soybean positions after a bullish USDA report.
