DuPont - An Emerging Food Company


I am quite interested in DuPont's recent acquisition of Danisco (Denmark). It reflects a company strategy aimed toward agriculture and food as a growth industry.

This quote sums things up:

"Dupont, the chemicals giant, has a knack for changing with the times. It produced gunpowder for the Civil War, paint for early automobiles and Teflon and Corian for modern kitchens. Now comes food for a hungry world."
