Short-term troubles are opportunities for long-term investors? 5 agro-chemical stocks with upside potential of up to 30%

Most businesses experience periods of highs and lows. The key is determining whether these lows are part of a recurring cycle or the result of a one-time event. The agrochemical sector is currently in a downturn due to specific, isolated incidents.
