2002年4季度,杜邦农药在北美的销售增长抵销了在欧洲、南美和亚洲的下降,4季度作物保护销售总值略有下降,因为比较高的量被比较低的美元比值所抵销。农药销售的下降被种子与营养业务的改善所弥补,使得4季度杜邦的农药与营养部门的总销售额增长7.7%,为7.41亿美元。销售量增长4%,部分被2%的价格下降所抵销。该公司的先锋种子分公司在南半球市场上的销量和价格都上涨,使4季度的销售利润有所增长。
Sales growth in North America for DuPont in the fourth quarter of 2002 offset the decline in Europe, South America and Asia with a slight decline in crop protection sales in Q4 as the higher amount was offset by the lower dollar ratio. The decline in sales of pesticides was offset by improvements in seed and nutrition businesses, bringing total sales of DuPont’s pesticides and nutrition sector up 7.7% in Q4 to $ 741 million. Sales increased 4%, partly offset by a 2% drop in prices. The company’s Pioneer Seed branch sales and prices in the southern hemisphere markets have risen, so that fourth-quarter sales profit growth.
