1329 ET - The agricultural chemical industry could be hit by an extended war in Iran, FMC Chief Executive Pierre Brondeau says at the JPMorgan Industrials Conference. While the Middle East conflict hasn't yet hit FMC in a significant way, a drawn-out war would likely impact the sector through costs of raw materials and energy, as well as challenges to logistics. "If this conflict is over in three weeks, it'll be a blip. We will not see much of an impact," he says. "If it lasts for six months, yes, we will see impact." He adds that FMC's exposure to the war is roughly the same as other agrochemical businesses. (elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
