Corteva Agriscience is focusing more on biologicals like biocontrols and biostimulants in India.
These are natural ways to protect crops and help them grow better.

The Indian government also supports natural farming and new technologies, which helps.
Corteva is investing a lot in research and partnering with local experts to make these solutions available.
They believe this can help farmers grow more food with less harm to the environment and increase their income.
However, they face challenges with slow approval processes for new products in India.
