I believe that Monsanto is not at all interested in selling chemicals... Roundup (glyphosate) is no longer protected by patent and is manufactured by many different companies. Monsanto's future is in license fees for their patented glyphosate-resistant genetic information.
The problem I have with Monsanto is that they are rushing headlong into making glyphosate-resistant plant production so ubiquitous that within a short period of time, glyphosate will no longer be a viable herbicide. Mother nature is much more efficient than Monsanto... without careful use, many glyphosate resistant plant species will quickly evolve and render the chemical useless.
