Grabar Law Office Investigates Claims on Behalf of Farmers Against Syngenta and Corteva for Unlawful Pesticide Price Manipulation

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - October 17, 2022) - Grabar Law Office is investigating claims on behalf of farmers against the Syngenta Crop Protection AG, Syngenta Corporation, and Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC (collectively, "Syngenta"), and Corteva, Inc. ("Corteva") (collectively with Syngenta, "Defendants"), that they have implemented special "loyalty programs" in connection with key active ingredients that are incorporated into pesticides with the intent and outcome to stifle competition and maintain artificially high prices for these pesticide products.

On September 29, 2022, following an investigation, the Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint against Syngenta and Corteva ("Defendants") alleging that Defendants' loyalty programs foreclose generic competition for pesticides which result in higher prices for farmers in violation of federal and state antitrust laws.

It is alleged that as a result of Defendants' conduct, Defendants have restrained competition, maintained unlawful monopolies, and harmed America's farmers, reducing choices for these farmers and costing them millions of dollars in overcharges.

Syngenta's loyalty program applies to at least three active ingredients that are threatened by generic competition: azoxystrobin, mesotrione, and metolachlor.

Corteva's loyalty program applies to at least three active ingredients: rimsulfuron, oxamyl, and acetochlor.

If you have purchased pesticides in the United States containing the active ingredients azoxystrobin, mesotrione, metolachlor, rimsulfuron, oxamyl, or acetochlor since January 1, 2017, you may have been overcharged, and could be eligible to bring a claim to receive a return of overcharges as well as potentially a court approved incentive award if appropriate.
