barrons2	One stock she favors is Syngenta (SYT), a Swiss biotech that, through sales of seeds and crop-protection products such as herbicides, fungicides and insecticides, tries to boost yields from the diminishing supply of arable land. "Because of climate change -- and because of the increasing global population -- we believe that companies in this business will have superior pricing power," Maisonneuve says.	Love	May 17, 2008

barrons2	Of course, from a stock point of view, this says that once again the ag complex of Deere (DE) and Bunge (BG) and Monsanto (MON) and Syngenta (SYT) and Potash (POT) and Mosaic (MOS) and Agrium (AGU) can get another lift.	Love	April 10, 2008

John Trevor	The boom in corn planting has been a boon to Syngenta (SYT ), a Swiss seed and crop-protection company based in Basel. Its stock has jumped 34%, to 39.17 in the 13 months since the company was featured in this column on Mar. 13, 2006. Some analysts see more upside ahead. The brisk demand for corn to make ethanol is boosting farmers' need for Syngenta products to thwart field pests such as corn rootworm. Syngenta Chief Financial Officer Domenico Scala says 2007 will be a "volume growth story" driven by an improved farm market. He says Syngenta, which posted sales of $8 billion in 2006, expects to return to shareholders $800 million in 2007 through increases in dividends and share buybacks. Patrick Lambert of Swiss broker Cheuvreux sees earnings of $12.35 a share in 2007 (before special charges), up from $10.96 in 2006. His 12-month stock price target is 54. Alexandre Pasini of Bank Vontobel says 2007 will be a strong year as U.S. corn acreage is forecast to rise 8%. This will lift commodity prices and lead to favorable planting conditions. He rates the stock "outperform."	Love	April 15, 2007
