FMC Corporation’s Post

Upstream Ag Professional - The Big Three for the Week of October 29th 2023 ◼︎◼︎◼︎ Upstream Ag Professional members will get exclusive access to insights and analysis surrounding the following topics this Sunday: 1. Pivot Bio Realigned Resource Allocation This week Pivot Bio CEO Chris Abbott shared a letter talking about changes in resource allocation, including company layoffs, along with a refocus on the company's near-term priorities. This news comes just a week after AgBiome shared their need to potentially lay off the entire company. What does it mean for their business? Where are they focusing their efforts? Does it make sense? 2. FMC Corporation Provides Adjustment to Expectations Is Blue Orca Capital Right? FMC adjusts Q3 and FY 2023 expectations and updates the market at a time when management transparency is being called into question. FMC has a significant short position against it, with the short sellers, Blue Orca Capital, calling into question the transparency of management regarding legal defeats surrounding their diamide product portfolio, two active ingredients which make up 36% of FMC sales and 28% of their patent portfolio. Notably, one of the callouts from the Blue Orca Report was surrounding Brazil, the geography causing the most significant headwinds for FMC due to more challenging destocking headwinds than anticipated. Brazil is FMC's largest geography by revenue. 3. The Patronage Conundrum of Co-operatives Co-operatives often lead conversations and messaging with the amount of patronage they have delivered to their members. I believe in an ag retail context, this constant messaging anchors farmers to price and takes away from value-added conversations. There are plenty of opportunities to emphasize investment into helping farmers grow their crops, save time, and derive a better purchasing experience. Plus: •What are crop input companies doing to position themselves for a world where precision spraying is the norm? We have yet to see a strong strategic initiative surrounding precision spraying technology. •LLM Powered Autonomous Agents Integrated into Agribusiness Software Workflow and the Benefit to the Agribusiness Professional. •Exclusive charts and data surrounding crop input company revenue, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, revenue per employee, R&D expenditure and others!

I rarely use my private LinkedIn account for posts that might sound like "bragging" about #TeamBayer's business performance. However, in times like these where Bayer is mainly in the media due to challenges such as litigation, high debt percentage and lay-offs, I find it important to arrive at a more balanced perspective on our performance. We for sure face challenging times at Bayer, but there is also a lot to be proud off: In 2023Bayer | Crop Science core business saw ~7% growth, surpassing market and competitor performance. Despite challenges, we successfully launched some fantastic new innovations globally. We have a strong and growing core business, a market-leading innovation pipeline, and, most important of all, we have the passion of our teams to deliver on our ‘Health for all, hunger for none’ mission. I continue to be grateful to be part of #TeamBayer and for the dedication of all my colleagues. Let's sustain our momentum and ONE TEAM mindset for continued growth in 2024.

🌟🎉 Exciting Announcement! 🎉🌟 After years of experience, mentorship, coaching, and hard work (and a recent hurricane 😅), I am thrilled to officially launch my new compliance consulting company – Mindful Compliance! The focus of Mindful Compliance is to assist businesses in evolving industries - including, but not limited to cannabis/hemp, agriculture, psychedelics, and more - to grow and thrive within constantly changing regulatory landscapes. The journey to entrepreneurship is never taken alone, and I am incredibly thankful for the support and guidance I’ve received thus far. ✨ A heartfelt thank you to my career coach, Karen KMesh Meshkov, MBA, for her continued guidance, patience, and invaluable feedback. The KMesh Cann Coaching and Consulting network she has built for exchanging knowledge and experiences has been instrumental in my preparation and growth. ✨ I am also deeply grateful to my colleagues and the leadership at Bayou City Hemp Company 8th Wonder Brewery Cannabis for their mentorship, understanding, and encouragement. They have cultivated a supportive culture that many hemp and cannabis companies should strive for. Although I have recently stepped away from my position to pursue this new opportunity, I am confident they will continue to succeed in their markets. This new chapter is one I am excited to embark on, and I look forward to seeing it develop. If you’d like to learn more, please visit my LinkedIn business page and company website.

Last week, the Commission invited ECOFI to present at their Fertiliser Market Observatory; this event is a space for the European Commission and other relevant stakeholders to collect and disseminate information and data about the fertiliser market 📊 💡   ECOFI was invited to present on the organic-based fertiliser market; Marion Martinez, one of ECOFI's Vice-Presidents and Yara International representative, gave our presentation.  This presentation gave a background into the organic-based fertiliser industry before outlining the current market data for organic fertilisers and discussing the industry's future direction, including regulatory and industry challenges.    ECOFI's presence at Commission initiatives like this ensures our concerns and needs as an industry stay on the Commission's radar alongside more conventional fertilising products.    If you are interested in learning more about ECOFI, what it does and how it can support you as an Organic-Based Fertiliser producer, contact us at [email protected] 📩   #ecofi #EUpolicy #fertilizers #organicbasedfertilizer #EuropeanCommission #advocacy #fertilizermarket #yarainternational
