Nov 4 (Reuters) - Corteva ( CTVA ) posted a

smaller-than-expected loss for the third quarter on Tuesday, as

the agrichemicals company benefited from strong sales across

segments.

The Indianapolis-based firm, which last month announced

plans to separate its seeds and pesticides business, posted an

adjusted loss of 23 cents per share during the period. Analysts

on average estimated a loss of 53 cents, according to data

compiled by LSEG.
