The seed industry: an investor's perspective
Article Abstract:
Investors looking to invest in the seed industry should consider short- and long-term factors before deciding to add seed or agricultural biotechnology stocks to their portfolio. According to Sean Dingeldein of Kent Group Inc, although both sectors have positive long-term growth potentials, investors must still consider factors such as economy rates and earnings of the company to have a good return on investments. However, investors stand to benefit more if they will diversify their portfolios into seed and biotech companies with agricultural interests.

A watershed year in the seed industry, part 2
Article Abstract:
The continuing demand for innovative technology and the capability to discover and develop new products is expected to further result in acquisitions and mergers in the seed industry. This will mean the continuation in 1999 of a trend that saw an unprecedented surge in 1998. Industry leaders believe, for example, that the present 50 to 100 players in the seed corn market will ultimately be reduced to four or five top firms in the next five to 10 years.
