Corteva's Seeds Spinoff Will Leave a Pure-Play Crop Protection Company
Corteva is an agriculture pure play that was formed in 2019 when it was spun out of DowDuPont. The company is a global leader in seeds and crop protection products. Seeds generated around 66% of profits in 2025, with the remaining 34% coming from crop protection. Corteva plans to spin off its seed business in late 2026. The seeds business will be named Vylor, while the crop protection business will retain the Corteva name. Corteva develops its pipeline by investing around 8% of sales in research and development. New products should generate sales and profit growth even as patents expire and generic products enter the market.
