History:
Monsanto began operations in Singapore in August 1969 as a regional sales and marketing
office for Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The first products sold were mainly
industrial chemicals. The agricultural chemicals business management function was
relocated from Hong Kong to Singapore in 1973, the year Singapore became the regional
headquarters for what was known as Southern Asia. The next significant milestone
in Monsanto's history was the establishment of the Asia Pacific regional headquarters
in 1984. Its status as the Asia Pacific headquarters was short-lived, as it was
disbanded in 1988 following an area-wide restructuring resulting in the area director
for the former Monsanto Chemical Company being relocated to Hong Kong. Despite these
changes, several staff functions, such as human resources, management information
systems and Finance covering Asia Pacific remain in Singapore today. The latest
round of restructuring in 1995 resulted in the most dramatic change in the structure
of Monsanto Singapore -- for the first time since its inception, the Singapore office
is not operating as a separate administrative entity, but rather, as a home to several
sectors' direct salespersons.
