Corn  continued We are finding ways of incorporating additional,  related technologies into our corn offer  through partnerships with other companies.  For example, we have worked with Lindsay,  a manufacturer of crop irrigation equipment,  to help growers maximize corn yield per gallon  of water used. Together, we have pioneered an  irrigation system that delivers not only water but  also crop protection products with efficiency  and precision.  In Latin America, corn is assuming greater  importance in a market traditionally dominated  by soybean. Syngenta is at the forefront of  biotech trait expansion with the launch of  Brazil’s first triple corn stack including VIPTERA ™ for the 2011/12 season. In November, the triple  stack was also approved in Argentina and will  form part of our integrated offer including  market-leading seed care and crop protection.  In Asia, double stacks are already being sold  in the Philippines and will be followed by triple  stacks in 2012. Vietnam will see our first trait  launches in 2012. Our product pipeline has the potential to take  our corn-related sales over US$ 4 billion post  2015. We will continue to strengthen our  complete offering, with innovation across  herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, biotech  traits and germplasm. Key priorities will be  agronomic and water solutions and the  extension of a full technology offer to Latin  America and Asia. The average yield for US corn growers is  10 tons per hectare; the worldwide average  is half that. Syngenta’s objective is to narrow the  yield gap by maximizing yield for growers across  the world – delivering global technology in  locally tailored solutions. Our strategy in Europe is focused on excellence  in crop protection and on expanding our seeds  presence. In CIS, where yields lag well behind  Western European levels, we will build on our  market leadership to increase grower awareness  of the benefits of crop protection use in  enhancing plant performance as well  as protecting yield.
