Corteva’s Vylor Targets $1 Billion in Wheat Revenue With New Hybrid Technology
Corteva (NYSE: CTVA) said Vylor, its planned seed and genetics spin-off, will launch its proprietary Xpedite hybrid wheat technology in late 2027. The announcement comes ahead of Vylor’s planned separation from Corteva on October 1.
Vylor expects the technology to significantly expand its North American wheat business, forecasting $500 million in wheat revenue by 2035 and $1 billion by 2040, including licensing revenue. Wheat is expected to become Vylor’s third major business pillar alongside corn and soybeans.
According to company trials, the non-GMO hybrid wheat can increase yield potential by about 10% using the same amount of land and resources. Under water-stressed conditions, yields were as much as 20% higher than elite conventional varieties. Vylor also expects the technology to double the annual rate of genetic improvement versus conventional wheat by 2040.
Vylor plans to launch Hard Red Winter wheat in North America in 2027, followed by Soft Red Winter in 2029 and Hard Red Spring in 2030, with further international expansion planned through licensing and partnerships.
