Transition Strategies in Agricultural Chemicals Manufacturing

I would like to learn more about how multinational companies in the agricultural chemicals industry are transitioning from internal manufacturing (primarily in Europe) to external manufacturing in lower-cost regions such as Asia. In particular, I am interested in understanding the operational strategies driving this shift, including global sourcing, technology transfer, and supply chain optimization, as well as the share of active ingredients currently being manufactured in countries like China and India. Additionally, I am keen to explore how business development contributes to forming partnerships with manufacturers in lower-cost geographies and how this trend is shaping the overall competitive landscape within the agricultural chemicals industry.
