Syngenta and Corteva, FTC v.

In 2022, the FTC and twelve state partners filed a lawsuit against pesticide manufacturers Syngenta and Corteva. The complaint alleges that each defendant implemented a post-patent loyalty program that paid distributors to forgo buying competing generic products. These generic products contain the same active ingredients as the Syngenta or Corteva versions, at a lower cost. The complaint further alleges that this conduct allowed each defendant to inflate its prices, forcing American farmers to spend millions of dollars more for essential crop protection products. The complaint seeks to bar Syngenta and Corteva from continuing these programs and from entering into any similar arrangements in the future, and to restore competition to affected markets.
