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.
