Agrochemical company Syngenta Ag (SYT), first written about on June 16, 2009 at a price of $47.28, has weathered the recession in decent shape, and is now positioned to capitalize on the global economic recovery. Here's why:

Look for seed sales to advance 10-15% in 2010, with improved pricing power. In particular, demand for vegetable seeds looks strong, on increased consumption of food in emerging markets. Meanwhile, crop protection will likely face a more-competitive market in 2010, with flattish revenue results likely.
