DuPont (NYSE: DD) affirms the continued strength of its seed business, Pioneer Hi-Bred.

Commenting: "The fundamentals of agriculture remain solid," said Schickler. "Last December, DuPont announced its expectations for sales and pre-tax operating margin growth through 2015 for the Agriculture & Nutrition reporting segment, which included the seed, crop protection and nutrition and health businesses. Those expectations remain unchanged as these businesses, in the aggregate, are expected to deliver sales at a compounded annual growth rate of 8 to 10 percent from 2010-15 and increase pre-tax operating margins in the range of 19 to 21 percent in the same time period."
