Company history
Corteva’s history draws on the agricultural and chemical businesses of its predecessors: DuPont dates to 1802, Dow to 1897, and Pioneer Hi-Bred Corn Company—founded by Henry A. Wallace—to 1926.[25] DowDuPont was formed in 2017 through the combination of Dow and DuPont, and announced the Corteva Agriscience name for its agriculture division in 2018.[26][27]
Corteva became an independent company on June 1, 2019, when it separated from DowDuPont; its shares began regular-way trading on the New York Stock Exchange on June 3.[28][29] In 2022, it agreed to acquire biologicals companies Symborg and Stoller, completing both acquisitions in March 2023.[30][31][32] [26][28][29][25][27][30][31][32]
