Syngenta Group has unveiled plans to set up its third global crop protection innovation hub in Shanghai, marking a major expansion of the agricultural tech giant’s research and development capabilities in China and globally.

The new facility, to be located in Shanghai's Jinshan district, will join existing centers in Stein, Switzerland and Jealott's Hill, United Kingdom, the Basel-based company announced.

The Shanghai center represents "the largest investment that we've made in R&D since the formation of Syngenta Group," Chief Executive Officer Jeff Rowe said in an interview with Yicai.

The group was formed in 2020, when Syngenta, Adama, and Sinochem Holdings’ agricultural business were merged.

Syngenta signed a framework strategic cooperation agreement with the Jinshan district authorities yesterday, while its parent company Sinochem Holdings inked a deal with the city government.
