CropLife International is an international trade association of agrochemical companies founded in 2001. It was previously known as Global Crop Protection Federation[2] and started out as International Group of National Associations of Manufacturers of Agrochemical Products[3] in 1967. Its members include the world's largest agricultural biotechnology and agricultural pesticide businesses namely BASF, Bayer CropScience, Corteva, FMC Corp., Sumitomo Chemical and Syngenta.[4] The international body combines several national-level or continent-wide organisations, each one having the same goals but differing according to local language and custom.[5]
