Competition record
FMC
Deep profile · 1 linked library matter
FMC is a crop-protection company that sells insecticides, herbicides, and other chemicals farmers use on pests and weeds. It is named in the library's Dow and DuPont remedy file.
Overview
FMC Corporation's agricultural business sells crop-protection products. A grower uses those chemicals to control insects and weeds. The company is a specialist in that market, not a grain processor and not the merged DowDuPont group itself.
The library's file on the Dow/DuPont merger is a conditional EU clearance, status remedy. FMC appears in that file because crop-protection assets were part of the remedy discussion. This profile says what the library says: FMC is named there, and it is a crop-protection company. It does not name any other buyer.
Dow and DuPont combined in 2017 and later split into Dow, DuPont, and Corteva. FMC's place in the story is the remedy file, not a separate cartel. The competitive question is whether crop-protection competition survived the combination.
Competition footprint
Farmers are the customers of insecticides and herbicides.
The Dow/DuPont clearance was conditional because those farm products overlapped.
FMC's role in this library is the role the remedy file gives it.
Consumer & business angle
Growers buying sprays are the businesses downstream of a crop-protection merger.
Dow, DuPont, and Corteva are the companies whose combination and split frame the file FMC appears in.
What to watch
- Whether crop-protection assets linked to FMC in the remedy actually competed with Corteva afterward.
- The Dow and DuPont profiles, which describe the same clearance.
