“Heroin, Nazis, and Agent Orange: Inside the $66 Billion Merger of the Year.
These companies used to sell heroin and Agent Orange. Now, they want to form the world’s largest supplier of seeds and pesticides.
Two giants of the farming and chemical industries agreed to merge Wednesday in a $66 billion deal: the U.S.’s Monsanto and Germany’s Bayer, the original maker of aspirin. It’s the year’s biggest deal and will create the world’s largest supplier of seeds and farm chemicals, with $26 billion in combined annual revenue from agriculture. If the merger goes through, it will combine two companies with a long and storied history that shaped what we eat, the drugs we take and how we grow our food.”
