An estimated two-thirds of the land will be used for farming, with the remainder left as open space for preservation of native Hawaiian plants, said the company. The purchase brings the total acreage for Syngenta’s research and parent seed operations to more than 4,800 acres.

Syngenta Hawaii LLC, which currently employs over 300 workers at facilities on Oahu and Kauai, expects to hire more than 100 full-time workers in the next few months.
