Hendrik
van Staden has been appointed as Syngenta’s seeds business unit head of
sub-Saharan Africa as of August 2022. “In his new role, Van Staden will guide
the organisation in its mission to foster the current momentum and to drive
further growth of the seeds business in Africa, and advance our commitment to regenerative
agriculture,” Kobus Lindeque, former seeds business united head of sub-Saharan
Africa, said.
Lindeque

South Africa, and the development of a summer crop growth strategy to support
the extremely successful Sensako wheat seed business. This growth strategy of
Syngenta’s seeds business in Africa will be the foundation for future growth. As an expert business mentor, Lindeque will
remain available in the capacity of a business consultant and mentor and will
work closely with Van Staden in the onboarding process. – Press release,
