Abstract

In 2012, Syngenta, one of the world's largest agricultural input companies, committed to build a $1 billion business in Africa over the next 10 years. In mid-2014, CEO Michael Mack and Africa Venture Team head Dimitri Pauwels are reviewing progress. Was the company's commitment to Africa still relevant and achievable?
