Going Where the Growth Is: DuPont Ukraine Connects with Customers

DuPont News, July 18, 2007 - DuPont Crop Protection recently established direct customer sales after beginning contracts with 23 Ukrainian agricultural companies. The first customer was Agroscope Ukraine LLC, a leading crop protection company.

The Ukraine recently has experienced steady market growth due to booming construction and agriculture industries. With its office launch in 2005, DuPont has been able to effectively and rapidly respond to the trends and needs of the local market. Regional farmers have access to the newest agricultural technology to increase their yields and productivity levels.

DuPont Ukraine offers its direct customers value-added services and allows efficient warehousing and logistics management. It also permits meticulous checks and balances and minimizes financial risks.

"Financial expenses and efforts to find a shortcut to customers have led us to long-awaited success, with DuPont Crop Protection sales volume growing considerably," said Dominic Watson, head of DuPont Crop Protection, Eastern Europe.
