BASF is undergoing corporate restructuring focused on its Agricultural Solutions division. The company has begun construction on a new Climate Center at its Limburgerhof headquarters in Germany, representing a low double-digit million-euro investment. This facility is intended to enhance research and regulatory capabilities, specifically for the registration of crop protection products through controlled environmental studies.

Building on these developments, BASF has set a target for a 2027 initial public offering (IPO) of the Agricultural Solutions division on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The legal and operational separation of this division is largely complete in Europe and the Americas, with Asian operations expected to conclude the process by the end of 2026. Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs are acting as financial advisors for the spin-off.
