2 Committed to Excellence from the field to the table We are committed to helping growers get the most from their crops, both now and for generations to come. Partnering with our customers every step of the way, we offer advanced, innovative solutions that provide growers with the tools they need in the field to ultimately put the food on the table. After all, our job is about helping customers deliver high-quality, nutritious vegetables to the market. We leverage our rich history in the industry, strong presence in the market and significant investment in the future of agriculture to help you do just that. Partnering for Success Our roots in the vegetable industry run deep, tracing back to 1876 with the establishment of ROGERS brand seed. For more than 130 years, we have worked boot-to-boot with our vegetable customers to provide a truly cutting edge, individualized approach to solution building. Addressing Whole-farm Challenges We believe that, to be successful, sustainable agriculture metrics must be integrated into dayto-day operations and decision-making, and that the value of doing this must exceed the cost. Through our AgriEdge Excelsior program, we re providing growers with data-rich, whole-farm management tools that help them make agronomically sound decisions, operate more efficiently and meet sustainable sourcing demands.

3 Innovating for the Future Backed by global resources and a daily investment of more than $3 million in research and development, we bring to market innovative, integrated solutions that help ensure your high-value vegetable crops reach their full genetic potential. Our state-of-the-art research facilities located across the U.S. are incubators for innovation in the field and in the marketplace, helping to ensure that we re providing growers with the tools they need to put food on the table. Pasco Seed Processing Facility This 40-acre, 200,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility processes both large-seeded and small-seeded vegetables. It houses a unique, two-pass drying system that most closely resembles natural drying in the field. Seed is stored within optimal parameters of temperature and humidity, ensuring a consistent supply of high-quality seed. Nampa Research Station This facility is the Center of Excellence for breeding of large-seeded vegetables including sweet corn, snap peas and garden beans. Its Product Quality Control laboratory manages quality control of all Syngenta vegetable seeds for North America and facilitates approximately 50,000 samples annually. Research Triangle Park, NC Syngenta Research Stations Syngenta Seed Processing Facilities Naples Research Station Woodland Research Station Undergoing a major expansion to enhance R&D and seed production capabilities, this station serves as a hub for cereal, corn, cucurbit and fruiting vegetable research in the California Central Valley. Supporting the Industry Our commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond solutions, service, and support it s an investment in the future success of the industry as well. We are proud to work closely with industry organizations, such as the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA), California Association of Pest Control Advisers (CAPCA), Produce for Better Health, Produce Marketing Association and United Fresh Produce Association, as an advocate for sustainable vegetable production and consumption. This station lies just south of the frost line in Florida, allowing two generations per year of most crops. It includes more than 100 open-field acres and contains more than 60,000 square feet of house space, as well as controlled growth environments and laboratories. Proud To Support FFA
