Derek Oliphant (DO): This is largely dependent on the active ingredient. However, for key products such as glyphosate, our latest data shows very little pricing difference between Bayer and generics. It is a similar situation for BASF with glufosinate. Based on stabilized prices from China and the current low cost (by historical standards), I would assume there is very little downward price movement that could occur moving forward, although other factors such as crop conditions during the season and oil prices could influence this.

Q: Is there a tendency of growth in the generics markets, and what’s the correlation with R&D?

FAZER: The generics market tends to outperform the proprietary/R&D part of the market when grower economics are less favorable, and the market is in a downturn. This has been the case recently. However, when economics are more favorable and grower incomes have improved, we tend to see the proprietary/R&D part of the market outperform the generics.
