Copyright © 2017 Accenture. All rights reserved. 2
Accenture works with the leading agricultural chemical (AgChem) companies to annually benchmark
supply chain and business performance. This report highlights the key findings and insights from our
2016 study, which focused on the quantitative and qualitative aspects of performance within the crop
protection segment.
2012-2015 calendar year data for the leading global
AgChem companies
Capture quantitative and qualitative data on supply
chain performance
SCOPE OBJECTIVES
Note: Composition of participants changed from past year, so the previous year’s metric values have been revised to include data for new participants.
Each participant is active across product categories Understand the drivers of supply chain performance
Active ingredient (AI) and formulations & finished
products (FFP) supply chains
Generate key performance indicators (KPIs) for
comparative analysis among participating companies
Focus on quantitative and qualitative performance
metrics across key financial measures, digital supply
chain, planning, logistics and manufacturing
Understand digital supply chain capabilities and
maturity of AgChem companies

Our research points to three areas where agricultural chemical companies should focus their digital
supply chain efforts to help improve operating performance:
It continues to be an exciting yet disruptive time for AgChem companies. Digital strategies are gaining
momentum and taking hold in more significant and impactful ways across all parts of the industry. And,
digital disruption is only just beginning. Accenture will continue to monitor this trend, and we look
forward to sharing the results of our 2017 study next year.
