Corteva, Inc. is a United States–based company operating in the materials sector within the agricultural science and crop-solutions industry. The company specializes in advanced seeds, biotechnology, crop protection and biological products designed to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability.
Corteva was formed in 2019 following the separation of the agricultural division of DowDuPont, becoming an independent, publicly traded company dedicated exclusively to global agriculture.
Its creation occurred during a period of industry consolidation and rising global demand for food, requiring innovation in genetics, crop protection and sustainable practices.
Corteva’s portfolio includes hybrid seeds for corn, soybeans, cotton, sorghum and other crops, offering genetic traits for yield enhancement, pest resistance and environmental resilience.
Its crop-protection line includes herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and biological solutions. Pioneer and Brevant represent its flagship seed brands. The company also provides digital agriculture tools, agronomic advisory systems, precision-farming platforms and research initiatives in gene editing and regenerative agriculture.
The company operates globally across North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Its operational structure includes biotechnology laboratories, seed-research facilities, crop-protection manufacturing plants, field-testing sites, digital-technology centers, agronomic-support teams and regulatory compliance units.
Corteva integrates scientific research with operational support and global supply-chain capabilities.
Market forces affecting Corteva include global food demand, agricultural-commodity prices, climate variability, regulation of biotech and crop-protection products, competitive dynamics in the seed and chemical markets, adoption of sustainable practices, costs of innovation and the rapid evolution of agricultural technology.
Environmental policies and carbon-reduction requirements also shape product development and portfolio strategy.
Corteva, Inc.’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker CTVA.
History and when Corteva, Inc. was founded
Corteva’s origins trace back to the agricultural divisions of Dow and DuPont, two companies with more than a century of scientific and industrial history. In 2015, Dow Chemical and DuPont announced their intent to merge and subsequently separate into three specialized companies.
One of these was planned to focus entirely on agriculture — the foundation for what would become Corteva. After the merger was completed in 2017, the combined entity, DowDuPont, reorganized its operations into three distinct business segments: materials science, specialty products and agriculture.
The agricultural division integrated Pioneer seed operations, crop-protection technologies and biotechnology research units from both legacy companies.
In 2019, DowDuPont completed its planned breakup, and Corteva, Inc. emerged as an independent, publicly listed agricultural company. This transition positioned Corteva as a major global player with an integrated portfolio spanning seeds, traits, crop-protection products and digital agriculture solutions.
In its early years as an independent corporation, Corteva expanded its seed genetics portfolio, strengthened digital platforms, enhanced research capabilities and introduced new crop-protection molecules.
The company also shifted its strategy toward biologicals and regenerative-agriculture practices, aligning with demand for more sustainable farming methods.
Between 2020 and 2024, Corteva advanced its research programs, invested in gene-editing technologies, broadened biological-product development and expanded its digital solutions.
It navigated challenges such as climate-related disruptions, supply-chain volatility and heightened global competition, while continuing to support farmers with integrated, technology-driven solutions.
By 2024, Corteva had consolidated its position as one of the world’s leading agricultural-science companies, offering a comprehensive suite of products and technologies designed to improve crop performance and support sustainable global food production.
