Market Update: E I du Pont de Nemours and Company (NYSE:DD) – DuPont Agriculture Leader Outlines 2016 Priorities

[PR Newswire] – LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — DuPont Executive Vice President James C. Collins will discuss priorities for the company’s Agriculture segment today at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 2016 Global Agriculture and Chemicals Conference – including plans to deliver an innovation pipeline of new genetics, biotech traits and crop protection products. An increasing global population and a rapidly expanding middle-class’s desire for more and better food are expected to continue to drive sustainable growth in demand for grain and other agricultural products over the long-term. With limited opportunities for new land to be put into production, the world will need increased productivity on every acre. “This creates attractive long-term growth opportunities for DuPont Agriculture to address these challenges through a continuing commitment to productive innovation,” said Collins.
