UPL’s large basket of crop protection products safeguards crops against pest infestations. The company has also created a retail chain in select geographies to provide one-stop solution to farmers. Business Operations UPL has expanded across the sectoral value-chain, from research and development, and registrations to manufacturing, packaging and marketing, and has emerged as one of the most comprehensive crop protection product companies in the world. The company’s product portfolio comprises fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators, rodenticides, specialty chemicals, nutri-feeds, seeds and seed treatment products. It has also ventured into providing value-added services in select markets.

Key Highlights • During FY19, UPL acquired Arysta LifeScience, a global provider of innovative crop protection solutions. The acquisition is set to enhance UPL’s position as a global leader in the agricultural solutions space with nearly $5 bn in combined sales in FY19. • The combined entity ranks among the top five global crop protection products companies in terms of size. While UPL’s robust manufacturing presence is a plus point for Arysta, the latter’s deep distribution capability can prove to be an advantage for UPL. • With the acquisition, UPL’s product portfolio of bio-solutions and seed treatment products would also get a fillip. With Arysta having strong presence in Latin America, South and Eastern Europe, Africa and Japan, it has also extended UPL’s territorial reach beyond its traditional markets of India, the Americas and Western Europe. • Post-acquisition, UPL is attractively positioned to address the existing and emerging needs of farmers across a wider global footprint with a larger basket of products. UPL now has the capability to provide complete solutions from seed to postharvest post- harvest in most key crops and key markets, further cementing its leading position in the rapidly growing bio-solutions segment.
