Peasants in India are suppliers to one of the largest agri-companies in the world - Swiss based Syngenta. Syngenta says it improves their livelihoods, but  farmers  say it comes at a price.  The documentary Seeds of Debt raises concerns that the  company is feeding a system of exploitation through the money lenders engaged in the supply chain.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Syngenta to respond to the concerns raised. In response, Syngenta sent: 1. Syngenta position statement on the film, Jan 5, 2015  / 2. Syngenta 12 November 2014 letter to film director Jens Pedersen / 3. Syngenta 22 Oct 2014 letter to film director Jens Pedersen. All are provided below.
