MONSANTO MALAYSIA SDN BHD

Monsanto Malaysia Sdn Bhd Company Profile

Monsanto Malaysia Sdn Bhd was the Malaysian subsidiary of the multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto Company, prior to its acquisition by Bayer AG. The company’s primary focus in Malaysia was the marketing, sales, and distribution of a range of agricultural products and solutions. These included high-quality seeds, such as corn and vegetable seeds, developed through advanced biotechnology, as well as crop protection products like herbicides (e.g., Roundup) and other agrochemicals. Monsanto Malaysia aimed to provide innovative agricultural technologies and solutions to Malaysian farmers to help improve crop productivity, enhance quality, and support sustainable farming practices in the region. Its operations involved product commercialization, technical support, farmer education, and local research and development initiatives tailored to the Malaysian agricultural landscape.

Factory or Trading Company

Monsanto Malaysia Sdn Bhd primarily operated as a **trading and distribution company**. As a subsidiary of a global agricultural powerhouse, its main role in Malaysia was to import, market, sell, and distribute the parent company's manufactured products (seeds, crop protection chemicals). While the global Monsanto entity had extensive manufacturing capabilities, the Malaysian subsidiary focused on the commercialization and supply chain management of these products within the country, rather than large-scale manufacturing of the core products themselves. It served as the local sales and support arm for Monsanto's global portfolio.

Based on available information, Monsanto Malaysia Sdn Bhd (now Bayer Crop Science Malaysia) has been involved in the production and/or sale of the following products:

* **Seeds:** Corn, oil palm, vegetables

* **Herbicides:** Roundup (glyphosate-based)

* **Other Crop Protection Products:** Insecticides, fungicides
