Harvesting a bountiful crop requires thorough planning; you plow, plant, protect and persevere to fulfilling the promise of a bountiful crop. At Makhteshim Agan Group, we consistently strive to reap an ample harvest of value for our partners through the implementation of sound crop protection strategies. Year in and year out, we are proud of our growing presence in the generic crop protection field.
Think Global. Act Local.
 As the world’s foremost provider of branded off-patent agrochemical products, Makhteshim Agan has incorporated this credo into every facet of its extensive operation. Our global success depends on our ability to meet the specific needs of each and every region we serve. From feeding the world to producing greener alternative fuels, we are helping farmers to grow crops abundantly and responsibly in every locale.
Local Leadership. Global Footprint.
 Today’s agricultural field is blooming, with new opportunities for crop diversity and innovation sprouting up in every corner of the globe. And when it comes to crop protection, Makhteshim Agan continues to lead the field confidently forward, producing the largest yield of effective off-patent agrochemical products in the global marketplace.
Guided by the principle that better collaboration translates into better yield in the field, we launched the Global Leadership Group (GLG), a forum consisting of leading managers collected from all of our many subsidiaries in every region where we maintain operations.
The GLG reflects a market-centric approach we are relentlessly pursuing of promoting local empowerment in order to maintain global leadership. It is a strong platform that will enable us to benefit from the expertise and experience of our team members. The potential for collective and collaborative professional mindshare on issues such as product bundling and pricing, distribution, logistics and beyond is truly invaluable.
Working together, we look forward to establishing an even leaner and more flexible global organization than we currently maintain. Through our efforts in the GLG, we can focus on cost reduction and enhanced profitability for the group as a whole while empowering our regional managers with the freedom to maintain a local perspective and act accordingly.
Local expertise. Global integration.
 Planning ahead in the crop protection industry is never an exact science; this year’s bumper crop can easily turn into next year’s drought. Volatile weather changes can shorten or lengthen the agricultural season. Fluctuating prices of oil and raw materials can impact profitability in both directions. Succeeding on the global stage in a highly competitive market, therefore, requires preparation for varying possible outcomes. Recognizing this, we made bold strides this year at Makhteshim Agan to prepare for the often unpredictable by implementing a comprehensive and enterprise-wide Change & Efficiency plan. We revamped our corporate infrastructure, placing all Israeli non-manufacturing executive posts under the auspices of a unified headquarters. We consolidated and streamlined our leadership by eliminating duplicate posts and formed a talent-management department that will employ state-of-the-art tools to benchmark the performance of our key executives in order to insure full, cross-enterprise accountability. Most significantly, Makhteshim Agan centralized its purchasing procedures – a move which should resonate positively for years to come and serve as a vital building block for better seasonal planning. By processing many of our procurement requests through a single channel, we increase our bargaining power, tighten our supply chain and reduce costs with greater efficacy.
Local products. Global standards.
 What’s growing in your field? In our continuing efforts to meet the dynamic needs of each and every region we serve, Makhteshim Agan strives to provide a comprehensive suite of products for each crop type covered in its extensive catalog, from staple grains to exotic fruits. Agrochemicals are vital insurance policies and farmers require solutions that afford the fullest protection possible against the various forces of nature that may stand to negatively impact their yield. To that end, we have always benefited from state of the art manufacturing processes and world class manufacturing plants. We had in the past maintained the separate legal structures of our two legacy companies – Makhteshim and Agan – producing fungicides and insecticides in the former and herbicides in the latter. 2007 marked a turning point in our approach and saw the integration of our manufacturing efforts. Today, Makhteshim Agan benefits from a synergy of production and supply chain. Under our newly unified Israel Plant Operations and Product Development and Registration division, strategic decisions concerning product development are taken on a “crop-centric” basis; we look at a given crop, analyze the full complement of protective agrochemical products required to ensure a successful harvest and develop new products that complement existing ones in the attempt to provide farmers with the most complete solution possible. This new approach enables Makhteshim Agan to leverage its considerable know-how in the manufacture of superior agrochemicals to the fullest in every manufacturing facility.
Capitalizing on attractive growth opportunities 
If agriculture is one of the oldest and most basic survival skills known to mankind, protecting crop integrity from the ravages of nature has been the constant challenge faced by farmers throughout the millennia. At Makhteshim Agan Group we are proud to take part in the time-honored tradition of enabling crops to reach fruition. As the foremost manufacturer and distributor of crop protection products in the global generic space, we are always ready to take advantage of shifting trends in the marketplace and leverage new opportunities.
The many dynamic opportunities shaping today’s marketplace include the population growth in central Asia and other parts of the world, coupled with a steady, positive rise in the standard of living and food consumption; the increasing demand for bio-fuel – natural alternative energy harvested from sugar-cane, corn, rapeseed and other crops with a high yield of sugar or oil; the continuing emergence of genetically modified, improved output crops; and the growing demand for crop protection products in non-crop environments such as forests and railroads. With over 70% of the crop protection market already in the off-patent phase, there is ample headroom for the continued growth of generic providers – and Makhteshim Agan Group is best positioned to benefit from this trend due to its undisputed lead in the field.
Building a broad and diversified platform 
In an era typified by the widespread proliferation of generic crop protection products, well-planned portfolio enhancement is essential for succeeding in the global agro-chemistry field. At Makhteshim Agan Group, we continuously cultivate and expand our diverse offering, implementing a “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” approach.
It’s all about knowing how to enable the right synergy and delivery of products in a given geographic region. Having all the necessary products on hand to address the entire spectrum of needs for every crop grown in a certain locale means that you become a one-stop address for farmers looking for a comprehensive solution. We have amassed a significant portfolio of over ninety internationally registered active ingredients and approximately 500 formulations that allows us to maintain a dominant position with multiple products in multiple regions. With over 4000 registrations in 120 countries spanning Europe, North America, Latin America, and most major markets beyond, Makhteshim Agan Group is poised to cultivate its dominant role as the world’s leading end-to-end generic provider.
Driving operational excellence and managing risks 
In the generic crop protection arena, one of the primary keys to protecting established successes and generating new wins is in streamlining the business model: keep your operation lean and flexible; invest in portfolio breadth through the registration of products and through building access to key markets; and focus on a holistic approach to supply, from consolidated purchasing, through modern manufacturing facilities and co-production partnerships, to effective worldwide logistics management.
No one is more adept at maintaining this approach than Makhteshim Agan Group. As the largest generic player in a competitive global marketplace with close to $1.8 billion in sales, we consistently benefit from high operating margins in comparison with our peers. This performance is achieved through an uncompromising approach to managing operating and capital costs responsibly; an ongoing commitment to industry leading environmental standards; and an advanced risk management approach addressing issues such as currency and credit.
Executing successful M&A expansion 
In the highly active generic market, Makhteshim Agan Group has pursued a steady course of executing mergers and acquisitions to strengthen its standing in each geographic area of its operation. Our robust balance sheet empowers us with great financing flexibility when new opportunities arise. In the space of a few short years, we have completed more than a dozen strategic company acquisitions and purchased over twenty major products.
At Makhteshim Agan Group, we are able to seize opportunities by making the necessary complementary acquisitions to our portfolio based on considerations of fulfilling product demand, extending the reach of our local distribution networks, or improving manufacturing logistics. By pursuing this M&A approach, we are able to address growth opportunities on a global scale and promote significant synergies through product cross selling and size efficiencies. We are committed to faithfully meeting the dynamic crop protection needs of our customers in every region we serve by offering the market’s most extensive portfolio of best-of-breed, environmentally responsible products.
