Questions raised in Europe about the safety of glyphosate herbicide are unlikely to greatly affect Nufarm\u2019s bottom line.<\/div>\n
Nufarm chairman Donald McGauchie told the company\u2019s annual general meeting in Melbourne today glyphosate sales in Europe were expected to account for only $9 million of $250 million of revenue expected with the first full year of ownership of the Century portfolio of chemicals acquired from Adama and Syngenta.<\/div>\n
In response to a question from the Australian Shareholders Association, Mr McGauchie said he was pleased that European Union member states had renewed registration of glyphosate for the next five years.<\/div>\n
He said it was scientifically proven that glyphosate was not carcinogenic, as claimed by some environmental groups.<\/div>\n
\u201cWe are disappointed the glyphosate registration was not extended for 15 years,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
\u201cIt has clearly become a political rather than a science-based decision.\u201d<\/div>\n
Nufarm is expanding its presence in the European market, with two key acquisitions during the past six weeks.<\/div>\n
The company announced in late October it was acquiring the Century chemical portfolio from Adama and Syngenta for $627 million and in early November, it struck a deal to buy a European portfolio of cereal broadleaf weedkillers from FMC Corporation for $US90 million (about $118 million).<\/div>\n
Nufarm managing director Greg Hunt told the AGM the two acquisitions would reposition the company among its European peers in the crop protection market.<\/div>\n
Mr Hunt said the Century range included 50 crop protection formulations used in 29 European countries.<\/div>\n
\u201cThis portfolio is being divested by Adama and Syngenta to meet European Commission requirements relating the acquisition of Syngenta by ChemChina,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Century products represent an excellent strategic fit for Nufarm, aligning closely with the core crops and countries that we are targeting under our strategy.\u201d<\/div>\n
Mr Hunt said the Century group of chemicals should generate revenue of about $250 million in the first full year of ownership.<\/div>\n
