China Should Strengthen Supervision Over Foreign Seed Companies

August 1, 2011, CCM – Recently, several China’s government ministries including Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Commerce, etc. have jointly investigated the situation of foreign seed enterprises entering domestic market, and the influence foreign capital has brought to domestic seed industry according to CCM’s July issue of Seed China News.

The investigation found that, relying on the strong advantages in capital, R&D, core technology, brand, marketing and service, many foreign companies have actively entered domestic seed industry, through the ways of M&A, joint venture, etc.

A source close to the investigation team disclosed on 20 July that, the investigation report is still in drafting at present; most members participating in the investigation do not make suggestions to limit the development of foreign seed companies within China, but call for strengthening supervision over them, especially implementing appropriate measures, such as price ceiling, to those multinational companies with monopolistic behavior.

Although some insiders advocate restricting the expansion of foreign seed enterprises in China, most members participating in the investigation do not agree with it. “It is reasonable for foreign companies to provide farmers with competitive products and services, if domestic companies are unable to do it temporarily”, said a investigator. Actually, the “closed protection policy” for blindly rejecting foreign capital is nothing short of seeking no progress.

Editor’s Note:

The “Suggestions for Accelerating Development of Modern Crop Seed Industry” was released in April 2011, which leads to certain fluctuations in domestic seed industry. While the most glaring concern should be that seed companies are amplifying efforts to collaborate with research institutes, in order to improve their overall technology level in variety breeding.

Aiming to become main force for variety breeding, not a few companies have invested heavily to establish R&D centers, by introducing advanced equipment and facilities, and technical personnel. Due to lack of attention in R&D for a long time, most seed companies have seriously lagged behind in variety breeding. Therefore, research institutes who possess abundant breeding experience and senior research talents, are certainly considered as best partners for seed companies to improve variety breeding.

Apart from large-size enterprises such as CNSGC, Winall Hi-tech, etc., many fast-growing companies like Henan Qiule and Guangxi Zhaohe, also spare no effort to seek collaboration with local research institutes, in order to further enhance their regional advantages.

As for research institutes, they also actively get close to seed companies. For example, Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences releases that it shall phase out commercial breeding and turn to basic and public research in the future, to provide research services for seed companies.

Corporate farming $89.99 Corporate farming is a term that describes the business of agriculture, specifically, what is seen by some as the practices of would-be megacorporations involved in food production on a very large scale. It is a modern food industry issue, and encompasses not only the farm itself, but also the entire chain of agriculture-related business, including seed supply, agrichemicals, food processing, machinery, storage, transport, distribution, marketing, advertising, and retail sales. The term also includes the influence of these companies on education, research and public policy, through their educational funding and government lobbying efforts. “Corporate farming” is often used synonymously with “agribusiness” (although “agribusiness” quite often is not used in the corporate farming sense), and it is seen as the destroyer of the family farm. Critics argue that the ultimate goal of corporate farming is to vertically integrate the entire process of food production, up to the point of the distribution and sale of food to consumers.

Along with the typewriter the town Feed & Seed store have disappeared.Today there is a renaissance in micro-brewing and craft distilling. The principals of distilling described is this book are correct but the methods used by today’s “urban” moonshiner have changed because every town in America has a home brew shop where he or she can take a home brewing class and buy his ingredients to make beer and moonshine. (Mostly yeast and sugar.)The techniques described in this book are not used by today’s modern moonshiner because better how-to information (books) and equipment are readily available. It is estimated that there are 15,000 modern moonshiners in the USA and the industry is currently going through a renaissance.

New Trends in Employment Practices: An International Survey $107.55 In recent years, fundamental economic forces have profoundly affected the labor markets of the industrialized nations. Among these forces are: the mass entrance of women into the labor market and major changes in work patterns designed to accomodate them; industrial restructuring due to the decline in manufacturing and the concomitant rise in service industries and advanced technologies; the shift in workers’ objectives toward job security, improved quality of working life, and more adequate provision for post-retirement years; and, finally, employee demand for industrial democracy or increased participation in making business decisions, which has led to the implementation of economically viable participatory schemes. The policy innovations and experiments effected during the past two decades in response to these labor market developments are the subject of New Trends in Employment Practices. In addition to the United States, the author considers four major industrial nations of the democratic world, France, Germany, Great Britain, and Japan. Walter Galenson also looks at Sweden, a country long noted for its imaginative labor programs, and the Soviet Union, a nation where recent events have graphically illustrated the strength of the demand for greater democracy at the enterprise and political levels. The book begins with a discussion of the promotion of industrial democracy at the enterprise level, citing a State of Washington program in which the unemployed receive seed money to start small businesses instead of being sent unemployment benefits. Galenson also details British experience with this same scheme. In Industrial Democracy at the Shop Floor Level, employee representationon corporate boards and employee ownership of companies, increasingly common phenomena in the United States, are investigated along with the relevant experience under German codetermination. Chapter Three is devoted to the movement for an improved Quality of Working Life (QWL), which i

Santa Clara $21.99 Santa Clara, named for the prosperous Spanish mission founded there in 1777, lies in a place once called the Valley of Heart’s Delight. Its black fertile loam produced thousands of acres of bright flowers and vegetables for the largest seed farm in the world, and much of the rest was blanketed in springtime with fruit blossoms. The wealth of its pre-eminent tanning, wood manufacturing, and fruit packing industries gave way to another type of opportunity in the 1950s with the emergence of the semi-conductor. The tiny chip that transformed the world of communication spawned new companies here like Intel, National Semi-Conductor, and Applied Materials, which earned the now urban economic powerhouse a new name, Silicon Valley.
