Food, transnational corporations, and developing countries: the case of the improved seeds industry
By world standards, the Improved Seed Industry is small in terms of value of commercial sales. However, it is of obvious and central importance to agriculture world-wide. Developing nations have essentially three options when considering how to relate their local needs to the world industry: allow open competition among foreign and domestic firms; exclude or severely limit the participation of foreign firms through strong state intervention or create a mixed competitive and state-controlled system. This paper will discuss the feasibility of these options for Latin American countries in light of the characteristics of the world industry
