Support can be provided at national level and/or local level for all types of projects, from manufacturing, services and R&D to innovation and training.

Why Russia?

"The share of local production of Syngenta crop protection products in Russia is about 30% of the total local sales. We would like to increase this figure to 70%.

This is a great place for us, not only because Russia is a good fast-growing market, but also due to its [intellectual] capabilities."
