FMC Corporation (FMC), an agricultural sciences company, Thursday announced that it has agreed to sell FMC India Private Limited to Crystal Crop Protection Limited, a crop solutions company in India for $252 million.

With this acquisition, Crystal Crop will obtain FMC India's commercial operations in the crop protection field, including a license to FMC's brands sold in India. Further, Crystal Crop will also receive a preferred supply agreement for certain FMC active ingredients and formulated products, as well as preferred access to FMC's pipeline of active ingredients in India for the crop protection field.
The transaction is expected to close by 2026 end.
In pre-market activity, FMC shares were trading at $15.23, up 2.97% on the New York Stock Exchange.
