Main Business or Products during the Reporting Period Main Business The Company is a global leader in crop protection, engaging in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of a wide range of crop protection products, that are largely off-patent. The Company provides solutions to farmers to combat weeds, insects and disease, and sells its products in over 100 countries, through approximately 60 subsidiaries worldwide. The Company's business model integrates end-customer access, regulatory expertise, state-of-the art global R&D, production and formulation facilities, thereby providing the Company a significant competitive edge and allowing it to launch new and differentiated products that meet local farmers and customer needs in key markets. The Company's primary operations are global, spanning activities in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific (including China) and India, the Middle-East and Africa. The Company also utilizes its expertise to adapt such products also for the development, manufacturing and commercialization of similar products for non-agricultural purposes (Consumer and Professional Solutions).In addition, the Company leverages its core capabilities in the agricultural and chemical fields and operates in several other non-agricultural areas, none of which, individually, is material for the Company. These activities, collectively reported as Intermediates and Ingredients, include primarily, (a) the manufacturing and marketing of dietary supplements, food colors, texture and flavor enhancers, and food fortification ingredients; (b) fragrance products for the perfume, cosmetics, body care and detergents industries; (c) the manufacturing of industrial products and (d) other non-material activities. General crop protection market environment During 2021, crop prices of most of the major commodity crops remained elevated, and even further increased, supporting strong crop protection demand in most regions. The positive crop price environment, along with associated higher planted areas, combined to drive global demand for crop protection products. On the whole, farmers continue to benefit from the high global crop prices. However, this benefit is somewhat dampened by broad inflationary pressures they are experiencing across most of their input costs, including seeds, fertilizers, crop protection, fuel and machinery. During the year, prices of intermediates and active ingredients sourced from China remained high due to rising oil prices and high raw material prices. In the third quarter, availability of intermediates and active ingredients sourced from China was more constrained, although improved somewhat in the fourth quarter as the “Dual Control” energy saving measures in the country were relaxed, and agrochemical production came back online. However, China agrochemical prices remained high and COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns continued to negatively impact agrochemical production and logistics. Global energy prices recovered and remained high over the course of 2021. In addition, global freight and logistics costs rose considerably during the year, and even further increased in December as COVID-19 continued to disrupt port activity, coupled with high stay-at-home demand brought on by the Omicron wave. Similarly, in-land logistics remained challenged as pandemic-related restrictions continued to create frictions in domestic supply lines. Taken together, these constraints have impacted both availability of shipping and transportation resources, as well as significantly increased their costs, a dynamic widely observed across all international trade-related industries. The Company continues to actively manage its procurement and supply chain activities in order to mitigate these higher procurement and logistics costs. It also endeavors to adjust its pricing wherever market conditions allow, to compensate for these increased costs, the results of which were apparent in Q4, and are continuing to be seen into the beginning of this year. Market Competition and the Company’s Market Share The global crop protection market is dominated by seven multinational companies, including the Group, five of which are originator companies. In the past decade, a number of mergers and acquisitions were completed among the largest players in the crop protection industry. Nonetheless, the crop protection industry as a whole is relatively decentralized, with a number of local manufacturers competing in each country against the global multinational companies. The Group believes that entry barriers for the crop protection market are relatively high, although they vary from region to region. ADAMA is a leading company (in sales terms) among the crop-protection companies that focus on off-patent crop protection solutions. The Group’s global crop protection market share was approximately 6% in 2021, based on AgBio Investor’s preliminary estimation of the global agrochemical industry in 2021 (compared with 5.5% in 2020). 3.
