REFLECTIVE WRITING
On the day 1 of group discussion and individual task being assigned to me , I
had a clear vision in asking the right role which best suits my skills, I told my
group leader that I want to explore in the area of business strategy of
Syngenta. How they had promulgated their success across the globe and what
strategy they had implemented to penetrate a major share in the pie among
their competitors. What made me to select this part of the role in the group?
Was this the apt area I was researching? My past experience during my
graduation and the role I had played in individual projects acts a strength here
to give right information needed for the report, initially I had negative feelings
on how I will perform in the group, but certain things were clearly discussed
among our group discussion that to make this report successful, the team
member should not downscale others view on the information they collect on
syngenta, rather review discuss and add value to the individual contribution by
group discussion and theories to support the relevant information .
Apart from the strategy, I also learnt how syngenta balance between the
farmer and the yield they produce. The population of the world is increase by
day to day which is determined approx 18000 people and because of that
many farmers last their erosion. Person’s who produce the food for the world
and their lives are living in the poverty and therefore biodiversity id
disappearing fast. The Growth plan as follows,
It is effective to make crops
Syngenta committed to raise the standard production of the world’s major
crops by 20% without using more capital as a land, water or inputs.
We’re still raising reference farm yields ahead of their benchmarks and taking a
lead in the digital revolution that’s set to transform agriculture in the coming
years. By making this project report in a group is a good experiencing but
somehow it also has a tough challenge for all the group members. In this every
member of the group has been find some knowledge that is helping in finding
the strategy of growth on a global level.

Need rescue in farmland
Syngenta committed to recover the richness of 10 million hectares of farmland
on the edge of degradation.
We’ve already benefited an area about the size of Guatemala – and we’re
building momentum with the help of a wide range of partners. In this all the
people in the group take responsibility of finding the need that is helpful in
rescue the farmland which is very important for the company.
It helps in prosper biodiversity
The concerned company committed to improve biodiversity on 5 million
hectares of farmland.
The experience and evidence base we’re building demonstrates that
biodiversity investment makes business sense. It give more knowledge that is
helpful in future terms in the cultivation process which is very important to the
world. Because without it not one live. Examine this experience is very
beneficial for the group members of a team.
Empower smallholders
Syngenta mainly focuses on to reach the 20 million smallholders and enabling
them to enhancing the productivity by 50%.
We’re demonstrating substantial increases in smallholder yields and working
with partners for better on-farm practices
Focus on each worker
Syngenta committed to endeavour for fair manual labour conditions
throughout our entire supply chain network.
We’re on track to reach our 100% target – and to be first in our industry with
global Fair Labour Association accreditation(Larres, 2017).
This activity content session helps in dealing the questions on the basis of
which strategy can be made. What route should the industry follow to
accomplish its purpose? In analyzing what the policy should be, two types of
'fit' are of central concern to administrator(Scott and Rajabifard, 2017). Primarily,
firm need to focus on the fit between a business and an environment.
Therefore, if the enterprise is not successful to make a fit between these two
then it is not able to fulfill the demand of the environment and it will not
perform its functions properly, which can eventually lead to bankruptcy or
takeover. It is also called a extrinsic consonance for instance, manager of a firm

would also helps in accomplishing the intrinsic fit between different functions
in the company. If various units become misaligned,the organization will
experience from inefficiency, conflict and poor external performance,which
can also eventually lead to its demise. This form of fit is also referred to as
'internal consistency'.
Both the strategy i.e. external and internal play a significant role in the
successful organization unit, they need to be achieved for each managerial
unit. Different companies have various objectives but to fulfill all the needs of
the business they need to follow internal and external fit within their industry.
In Figure II.1 all these possible levels within a corporation have beenreduced to
just three general categories, to which a fourth, supra-organizational level has
beenadded. Every level of the policies fulfills the needs of external consonance
and internal consistency.
Syngenta acknowledges that the Indian’s farmers want additional tailored,
coherent solutions to form cultivation associate degree economically viable
and gratifying way of life. In 2011 syngenta tend to stirred aloof
from one goods pattern and modified absolutely combining offers for key crops

by delivery along our crop protection, seed care and seed portfolios. It helps in
building the integrated strength and opportunities of our businesses, the
corporate is grasp the farmer with one voice and one face, to deliver end-to-
end integrated solutions on a world crop basis. company provides integrated
solutions for key crops like corn, wheat, rice, vegetables, specialty, various field
crops, leguminous plant bean and sugarcane.
What did I learn as the most important as a part of the group while collecting
data? From the above data facts, syngenta had a clear vision in reaching the
audience and the segmented market. The learn how approach was the most
fascinating learning from the information audit. One of the case was in 2010,
The demand of the rice will more in the world as almost all the people in the
universe eat rice , but with the insufficient productivity cannot fulfils the
forecast demand. In this they face many threats and challenges like shortage of
labour, inefficient use of water as well as increasing costs. Mitigating the risks
of those manufacture challenge moving forward would need transforming rice
production, something that would be difficult to accomplish. Approx 200
million smallholders cultivate rice in Asia and reaching these growers was
going to be a challenge. Most of these growers in developing areas still
resorted to planting by hand, back-breaking practice and a labor intensive.
(Syngenta 2013). However, the concerned organisation, with a efficient
presence in the Asian rice market, saw an opportunity to build by taking on
some of those challenges, and transforming the production of rice along the
way.
In the above case I learnt how syngenta adopted a home strategy which was
success earlier, and the solution they adopted in terms of replacement of hard
labour to machines and commercial return on crop yield has seen a historical
surge.
This function is started by using high quality of rice seeds that are effectively
coated with a treatment seed before it was planted. (Pisk and Lawton 2012).
This type of seed coating helps protect the new, densely planted seedlings
from early ailments. Therefore when the seedlings are ready for transplant
into the fields of grower’s than they are removed from the seedlings fields in
small amounts, like that of sod grass, and placed into flat trays for physical

distribution. In this the seedlings are placed in the rows which is on lower
density than it phases(Arkolakis and et. al., 2018). The transplanting process can
be traditional done by a hands of workers as they spend more time in flooded
fields, placing seeds into the soil where the mud is place. With TEGRA™, the
transplanting process is organised by a yard tractor-sized machine outfitted
with tall, narrow wheels that shows the directions of the flooded fields.
Further equipped with shelves to hold the flat trays of seedlings, the
mechanized transplanter precisely meters the seedlings into precise rows. 

The launch of TEGRA™ in 2010 proved to be achieved. In trials, yields increased
almost 30 percent, resulting in $270 of extra profit per hectare1 and a return
on speculation as high as 150 percent. During a 2010 visit, Hendrick had
spoken with MuttineniVeeraiah, a rice grower in India’s Andhra Pradesh
region. Mutteneni had been very positive, “From transplanting to cultivating,
my crop stays in better condition than it did with the conservative process I
used before” (Syngenta 2011). Across the globe, a similar revolution has taken
place in sugar cane production (Syngenta 2015a). This new advanced
technology is called PLENE™. Syngenta develops sugarcane seed stock in
growth chambers, slices the seedstock into plugs, and applies growth- and
yield-improving treatments to the plugs, which are then mechanically planted.
Using more advanced technology reduces the dependency of workers into the
work for which they used to manually cut the long sugarcane seeds goods into
plugs for gardening (Rugman and Verbeke, 2017).
My group leader complimented on the above data I have presented, I had a
clear rationale to authenticate the data which I had collected on the turn
around intiative of syngenta’s strategy in the major locations of Asia which is
outside their home business. I was very confident on the report and adviced
my team members to see the success of syngenta as an hindsight for our
future endeavours in our work or business, and making ourself a key player in
knowing the crux of business , which are the end users, in this case syngenta’s
corporate client were none other than the most unnoticed on the earth “ THE
FARMERS”. It is very useful for the data for the group member of a team

becsue it covers all the topic of the global strategy where they have an
excellent knowledge of the topic as well as doing work in a team. This report is
based on agriculture sector which is an important topic for the world and
capturing the information about this topic is very beneficial for the people in
today’s world. Because of this reason all the team members decided to take
this company so that they find the knowledge and skills about this. This is a
very confidential report which is useful for the many people who is related to
the cultivation sector. However it is very time consuming and incur more cost
at the time of making the project.
