The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 10 state attorneys general have filed a complaint against Syngenta Crop Protection and Corteva Inc. for alleged anti-competitive practices in the sale of pesticides. The firms are accused of blocking cheaper generic products from reaching farmers through “loyalty programs” that pay distributors to limit business with competitor manufacturers. This lack of competition has allowed Syngenta and Corteva to inflate their prices, costing American farmers millions of extra dollars. The complaint aims to end this pay-to-block scheme and restore competition to affected markets.
Our lawyers are taking the fight a step further by representing farmers who used the over-priced crop-protection products. We are going after damages for farmers who were forced to pay too much by these monopolies.
