awp<p>Syngenta Group macht weniger Umsatz und Gewinn</p><p>Die Syngenta Group hat im Geschäftsjahr 2024 erneut weniger Umsatz erwirtschaftet als im Vorjahr. Weil tiefere Absatzmengen auch die Verkaufspreise dämpften, ging der operative Gewinn noch deutlicher zurück. <a href="https://awp.news/tags/Syngenta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syngenta</span></a> <a href="https://awp.news/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>news</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.awp.ch/sharedarticles?articleid=-1991088352" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">awp.ch/sharedarticles?articlei</span><span class="invisible">d=-1991088352</span></a></p>
