Syngenta 22 October 2014 letter to film director Jens Pedersen

We strongly refute this allegation...To be clear, Syngenta has contractual relationships with grower-organizers, but not with the thousands of growers involved in maize seed production. Our grower-organizers, not Syngenta, manage interactions with growers...Film seriously misrepresents Syngenta’s progress on the Fair Labor Association Code of Practice, implying that the only progress made has been in relation to bonded labor. This misrepresentation is exacerbated by the film’s failure to make any mention of the FLA- monitored programs, such as Syngenta’s Me & Mine program.
