The Ohio AgriBusiness Association is pleased to feature our Sustaining Sponsors in the 2024 Spotlight Series. This week, the focus is on Bronze Sponsor: Nufarm.

 

Location (Main Headquarters): Alsip, Illinois

Year started: 1999 (US)

Number of employees: 3,059

Number of facilities: 4 (US)

Type of services offered: At our core, legacy strengths in formulation and field development provide viable options for growers to address the threat of weeds, disease and pests on crop yields. Our seed technology platform is commercializing opportunities for growers through nutritional solutions such as Nuseed Omega-3 Canola and renewable energy solutions such as Carinata and energy cane.

Company history: Nufarm is a global crop protection and seed company that has been helping farmers fight disease, weeds and pests for more than 100 years. Based in Australia with North American sites at Alsip and Chicago Heights, IL, Greenville, MS, and Morrisville, NC, Nufarm supplies a growing portfolio of crop, turf and ornamental protection products, including herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and plant growth regulators.

How has your company changed over the years? We are continually investing in capabilities – infrastructure, people, processes and technology – to improve reliability and be a partner for growth.

How do you see your company growing in the future?  Nufarm’s role as an agricultural innovator is rapidly evolving as we pursue crop protection solutions and technologies that support plant-based sources of food, feed and energy. Early development partnerships and pre-development capabilities will be integral to the role that Nufarm plays in the future of agriculture as will the ability to advance emerging technologies, integrated solutions and more sustainable products.

Interesting tidbits about your business: Breakthroughs at Nufarm often mean “we’re making basics better” through proprietary formulation advantages.

How has OABA helped your business or the agribusiness industry?

This is my first year sponsoring the OABA and I’m eager to build relationships within the organization and other partners. I look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship between Nufarm and OABA.
