Pure play agriculture firm Corteva Agriscience that provides a range of solutions to the farming community, from seeds, crop protection to digital, is upbeat on enhancing engagement in India in terms of its research-led manufacturing footprint, headcount and product offerings.
“India for us is a core strategic growth market, we will continue ramping up our presence,” President-South Asia Rahoul Sawani told media persons visiting Corteva’s Toopran Research Centre (TRC), near Hyderabad, on Tuesday.
Besides growing manufacturing footprint and headcount, India can emerge as a market for new pipeline of products developed and manufactured for the first time. “You can first manufacture [in India] and export to rest of world... matches with the Make in India policy,” he said, responding to a query on reports of Corteva exiting and cutting jobs in some markets globally.
