Contract Manufacturing of Crop-Protection Products: Some Key Considerations

Abstract

Outsourcing takes many forms. In the case of crop-protection products, the contracting-out of manufacturing tasks requires careful thought and attention. The 1990s have seen a major change in the relationships between outsourcers and third parties. The former now demand higher 'duty of care' standards than ever before and insist on the right to ensure their implementation. Any less rigorous approach can have disastrous consequences.
