 Monsanto has numerous products in its pipeline that
 will reinforce key franchises or serve as platforms
 for growth. The years noted here reflect the
 earliest estimated dates of commercial launch.
 Commercialization depends on the successful
 completion of such factors as research, field and
 clinical trials, and regulatory approvals.
 [Image]

 human dietary supplement through General Nutrition
 Companies (GNC).
 

 [Image]
 [Image]

 Celebra arthritis treatment
 Celebra is a member of a new class of drugs known
 as specific COX-2 inhibitors. Most arthritis
 medications available today have the potential to
 cause serious gastrointestinal damage, such as
 ulcers. Celebra is currently being evaluated in
 Phase III clinical trials to determine if it’s
 effective in treating arthritis without causing
 damage to the stomach, intestines or kidneys.

 Daniplestim
 This blood cell growth factor stimulates bone
 marrow to rapidly replace white blood cells
 destroyed by cancer radiation therapy and
 chemotherapy. Currently in Phase III clinical
 trials, it may help protect patients from
 infections and bleeding episodes that compromise
 their cancer care.

 MON 37500
 This herbicide controls brome, quack grass and
 winter broadleaf weeds in wheat.

 Roundup Ready Oilseed Rape
 Through biotechnology, this oilseed rape plant
 tolerates Roundup. Growers can apply Roundup over

 pressure, congestive heart failure and
 complications of kidney disease; it may have a more
 favorable side-effect profile than existing agents.

 Medium-Chain Fatty Acid/Medium-Chain Triglyceride
 Created through biotechnology, these canola plants
 produce oils for use in medical foods and nutrition
 products.

 Neotame Sweetener (formerly Sweetener 2000)
 Neotame sweetener is a new high-intensity sweetener
 with tabletop and commercial processing
 applications.

 Orbofiban
 This oral anti-platelet agent is designed for
 long-term use in preventing secondary heart attacks
 and blood clotting from myocardial infarction.

 Promegapoietin
 A second-generation blood cell growth factor,
 promegapoietin is expected to enhance blood
 platelet recovery after chemotherapy, which is key
 in preventing bleeding in cancer patients.

 Roundup Ready Potatoes
 Through biotechnology, these potatoes will offer
 growers the advantages of in-crop weed control with
 Roundup.

 This compound is a second-generation COX-2
 inhibitor with improved potency. It also has the
 potential for once-a-day dosing for arthritis
 sufferers.

 aid may have a better safety profile than current
 products on the market.

 [Image]

 action different than the original Bollgard cotton
 in order to help growers manage insect-resistance
 concerns.
 

 [Image]

 growth of blood vessels that nourish cancerous
 tumors.

 Biodegradable Plastic Polymers
 Several plant varieties are being designed through
 biotechnology to produce biodegradable plastics.

 Boll Weevil-Protected Cotton
 Through biotechnology, this cotton will contain a
 gene that allows the plant to protect itself from
 the boll weevil.

 Carotenoids
 This natural pigmentation is for use in animal
 feed.

 Colored Cotton
 Cotton plants with genes that produce colors will
 reduce the need for chemical dyeing.

 Disease-Protected Corn
 Developed through biotechnology, these corn plants
 will resist fungal and viral diseases and offer
 improved yields.

 Disease-Protected Wheat
 These wheat plants developed through biotechnology
 will resist fungal and viral diseases and offer
 improved yields to growers.

 High Beta-Carotene Canola Oil
 This canola oil will contain enhanced beta-carotene
 levels to combat vitamin A deficiency conditions
 such as night blindness.

 Higher Yielding Corn
 This corn is developed through biotechnology to
 increase crop yields for farmers.

 herbicide over the top of Roundup Ready rice to
 control weeds without affecting crop performance.

 Roundup Ready Wheat [Image]
 This wheat will offer growers the
 advantages of in-crop weed control with Roundup.

 Tifacogin (formerly Tissue Factor Pathway
 Inhibitor)
 This naturally occurring protein inhibits blood
 coagulation and modifies inflammatory processes.
 Tifacogin is currently being developed to treat
 sepsis, a potentially life-threatening condition
 resulting from severe infection of the blood.

 Ultrapure Algin
 This food ingredient will have biomedical
 applications, including the management of diabetes.
 

 [Image]
 [Image]
 Research and development of products based on new
 technologies is by its nature high-risk. It's
 typical for large numbers of products to fall out
 of development at various stages in the process.
 Monsanto is fortunate to have removed only three
 products from the pipeline shown in our 1996 annual
 report.

 BXN Herbicide-Tolerant and Bollgard
 Insect-Protected Cotton
 Monsanto and Stoneville Pedigreed Seed Co. have
 been developing cotton that is both tolerant of
 Buctril herbicide and insect-protected. However,
 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is
 currently reviewing Buctril. Therefore, the cotton
 will be sold for its insect protection, but farmers
 can’t treat the crop with Buctril.

 Improved Strawberry Crops
 Monsanto sold its strawberry business in 1997.

 Inulin
 This product will not be launched in 1999, but may
 be commercialized in subsequent years pending
 additional evaluation.
