Agrochemicals company Syngenta AG is ready to discuss deals with anyone in the industry, including the world's largest seed company Monsanto Co (MON.N), its interim chief executive John Ramsay was quoted saying in an interview on Friday.
The seeds and crop industry is undergoing a major shake-up, with DuPont (DD.N) and Dow Chemical Co having announced an all-stock merger valued at $130 billion last week.
"We are prepared to discuss options with the whole industry, including Monsanto, but our focus has got to be on the ability to actually believe in the value creation and have the confidence we can pull it off," Ramsay said in an interview with Dow Jones Newswires.
