The newspaper also highlighted that glyphosate alone sales have not jumped last year. Some herbicides without glyphosate, 

such as clethodim and haloxyfop, the revenue have grown by 66% and 67%, respectively. The herbicide 2,4-D sales increased

 25% and Paraguat was boosted 41%. All herbicides other than glyphosate sales increased 19% in 2014 to US$ 898 million. 

Monsanto became again the leader of the herbicides market in the country with a revenue of US$ 410 million, up 11%. Monsanto

replaced Syngenta, now in second place, followed by Dow AgroSciences in the third position. Another item highlighted by the newspaper 

was the sales of fungicides also increased 26% to US$ 247 million because of a crop season of strong rains that favored the appearances of 

diseases. The insecticides market jumped 17% to US$ 400 million. 

The new insecticides molecules pushed the market sales at 17% and generated US$ 400 million. On the other hand, sales of seed treatment 

dropped by 15% to US$ 87 million.In Argentina, local big players such as the Argentine Association of Cooperatives, Agrofina, Agrosoluciones, 

and Ryzobacter are highlighted.  Agrofina, an input division of Los Grobo group, had a revenue growth of 56% to US$ 107 million. 

A projection of La Nación shows that the number of the first quarter of 2015 would not be good. Based on reports of chambers and associations,

the sales can fall 30% at this period. The fall can be attributed to lower profitability and lower grains prices at this season.
