FTC, States Win Protections to Lower Pesticide Prices for American Farmers in Antitrust Case Against Corteva
Monday, September 28, 2026 • 3 PM
The Federal Trade Commission and a coalition of state attorneys general have secured a significant settlement agreement with pesticide manufacturing giant Corteva Inc. that will lead to lower pesticide prices for American farmers.
Under the terms of the settlement, Corteva will dismantle its existing pesticides loyalty program, which has limited distributors’ ability to do business with generic competitors that seek to enter the market after Corteva patents have expired.
