Ciudad de Mexico.- La empresa Monsanto recibio una negativa por parte de
la Secretaria de Agricultura (Sagarpa) para sembrar en fase piloto maiz
transgenico en el estado de Sinaloa, debido a cuestiones de
interpretacion, informo el director de la firma para Latinoamerica Norte,
Jose Manuel Madero.
La siembra constaria de 100 hectareas y representaria el avance de la
etapa experimental a un segundo paso en el cultivo de maiz transgenico en
Mexico, explico en conferencia.
Monsanto presento una contra argumentacion a la autoridad y espera que en
febrero se tenga una respuesta.
Esto, segun Madero, detiene las inversiones de Monsanto en Mexico, debido
a la falta de certidumbre en los planes de la empresa, pues si no hubiera
trabas oficiales, estaria invirtiendo 200 millones de dolares en el pais.
Mexico no tiene garantizada la alimentacion
Madero senalo que debido a la disminucion de inventarios en granos basicos
en Estados Unidos y otras naciones productoras de materias primas, Mexico
no tiene garantizada su alimentacion, por ser un pais altamente
importador.
Recordo que las expectativas del pais hacia el ano 2020, es que aumentara
su importacion de maiz 50 por ciento, al pasar de 10 millones a 15
millones de toneladas.
Asimismo, dijo que debido a la reduccion de inventarios mundiales, aumento
en el consumo y mayor uso de granos para la elaboracion de
biocombustibles, se preve que los precios, tan solo en maiz, seran altos.
En ese sentido, dijo que si Mexico hubiera adoptado la tecnologia de maiz
transgenico para subir su produccion, habria reducido su deficit en 9
millones de toneladas.
Asi, la empresa dijo que el beneficio para los productores mexicanos al
adoptar maiz transgenico seria de 5 a 6 mil millones de dolares en un
lapso de 5 anos y la reduccion a la mitad de sus importaciones del grano.
Para Monsanto, es urgente que Mexico adopte estas tecnologias, toda vez
que naciones como Argentina, Brasil o Uruguay, han acelerado el uso de
biotecnologia y han conformado un bloque de armonizacion regional con el
cual buscan aumentar fuertemente su produccion.
La transnacional informo que en los proximos 5 anos invertira de 70 a 100
millones de dolares en Mexico, en investigacion y desarrollo de productos.

Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMTEmail-ID xxxxxxxxx Date 2011-01-19 19:06:49 Alimentacion en Mexico no esta garantizada
http://eleconomista.com.mx/industrias/2011/01/18/alimentacion-mexico-no-garantizada

Maria del P / El Economista
En Mexico la alimentacion no esta garantizada, la dependencia de granos
basicos importados hace necesario repensar las politicas agricolas
encaminadas a elevar la productividad.
Jose Manuel Madero, director de Monsanto para Latinoamerica, afirmo: "Si
seguimos haciendo las cosas como hasta ahora, el deficit de 9 a 10
millones de toneladas de granos que se tiene actualmente podria
incrementarse a 15 millones en los proximos cinco anos".
Madero detallo que ante la disminucion de los inventarios de paises
altamente productores (como Estados Unidos) es importante que en Mexico se
aceleren alternativas para la agricultura, como es el caso de la
utilizacion de la biotecnologia con se podrian "adicionar de 7 a 8
millones de toneladas de cultivos en los proximos cinco anos".
Dicho incremento podria traer al pais beneficios economicos para los
estados del norte y sur del pais de aproximadamente 6,000 millones de
dolares y que ahora se encuentran limitados por los retrasos en los
procesos experimentales para permitir la utilizacion de la biotecnologia,
por lo que "continuaremos dependiendo de las importaciones".
Ejemplifico que de maiz nuestro pais importa aproximadamente 35% del
consumo total; para el caso de soya 96%; de trigo 25%, y de algodon 50 por
ciento.
Precios seguiran a la alza
Juan Leyva Mendivil, secretario general de la Alianza Campesina del
Noroeste, comento: "Con la informacion que recibimos y estamos analizando
se preve que en lo sucesivo los precios (de los granos) se mantengan mas
arriba. Hay dos elementos aqui que nosotros consideramos importante
senalar: la crisis alimentaria que podria venir y la inflacion que se
pueda dar por motivos tanto por la canasta basica como por la tortilla, el
pan y los derivados de trigo y maiz".
Una solucion para enfrentar esta crisis alimentaria y espiral
inflacionaria, expuso, es "ampliar la frontera agricola mediante la
investigacion para el incremento en la produccion".
Por su parte, Homero Melis, vicepresidente del Sector Agricola del Consejo
Nacional Agropecuario (CNA), agrego que existe una alerta por la escasez
de alimentos a nivel mundial; sin embargo, "no hemos considerado aplicar
de fondo alternativas que disminuyan los riesgos en el pais".
En entrevista, el representante de la cupula agro afirmo: "Hay escasez en
maiz por eso se tiene que incrementar la produccion, lo mismo con el trigo
porque estamos cortos. Eso hace necesario planear los inventarios
nacionales para evitar que los mas afectados sean los mas pobres ante los
elevados costos".
La Secretaria de Agricultura, Ganaderia, Desarrollo Rural, Pesca y
Alimentacion (Sagarpa) informo que ajustaran programas para fortalecer la
alimentacion en el 2011.

Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMTEmail-ID xxxxx Date 2011-09-01 21:15:28 Monsanto: Our seeds can help double crop
9/1/11
http://www.kyivpost.com/news/business/bus_general/detail/112054/
Visiting Kyiv this week, top management of leading global agriculture seed
producer Monsanto said their company hoped to sharply boost business in
Ukraine, selling and producing premium seeds to help the nation double its
crop
.
"We are aiming to increase our role in Ukraine's agriculture sector,"
Gerald A. Steiner, vice president of U.S.-based Monsanto, said at a
briefing on Aug. 31.
Monsanto President Hugh Grant was also in Kyiv for the visit, which
included meetings with President Viktor Yanukovych and Agriculture
Minister Anatoly Prysyazhnyuk.
Monsanto sells corn and rapeseed seeds in Ukraine under the DEKALB brand.
Steiner said introducing Monsanto's seeds along with other farming
techniques common in developed countries could help Ukraine increase its
corn yield from the current 4 tons per hectare levels to European
productivity of 7-8 tons per hectare.
"When we look at soil and climate conditions, Ukraine is very well set up"
to become a top world corn supplier, he added. Ukraine is expected to
surpass Brazil this season as the third-largest corn exporter worldwide.
Blessed with some of the world's best soil and weather, Ukraine also ranks
as a top global producer of barley, wheat, sunflower seeds and sunflower
oil.
Monsanto is currently a large supplier of high-quality agriculture seeds
in Ukraine, foremost for corn and rapeseed.
The company first broke onto the domestic market in the early 1990s. It
claims business has gradually increased since, but could surge if Ukraine
realizes its full agriculture potential by opening the door more to
investors and improving the investment climate.
The company could not give figures on the sales volumes it has registered
in Ukraine during recent years.
Olena Fomina, head of Monsanto's office in Ukraine, said the company
occupied a 14 percent share in Ukraine's corn seed market in 2010 and is
going to increase it by 5 percent in 2011.

Stratfor[OS] BRAZIL/US/ENERGY - Monsanto introduces sorghum as alternative to sugar cane in ethanol

Monsanto Sorghum Seeds to Yield Brazil Ethanol During Cane Break
October 14, 2011, 4:25 PM EDT
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-10-14/monsanto-sorghum-seeds-to-yield-brazil-ethanol-during-cane-break.html
Oct. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Monsanto Co., the world's largest seed company,
will sell enough sweet sorghum for 20,000 hectares (49,400 acres) of
plantations in Brazil this year as sugar cane mills struggle to meet
demand for ethanol and are seeking an alternative source of the renewable
fuel.
The plantations may generate enough sorghum to produce 80 million liters
(21.1 million gallons) of ethanol, said Jose Carramate, St. Louis-based
Monsanto's sugar cane leader.
Sweet sorghum, an 8-foot (2.4-meter) plant that resembles sugar cane and
may yield 80 percent as much fuel, may become an alternative feedstock for
Brazilian mills after a poor cane harvest forced some plants to close this
month, more than a month early, for the annual inter-harvest break during
the rainy season.
"This year will be the magic year," as mills put the crop to the test, he
said in a telephone interview yesterday. "We could see 100,000 hectares
planted next year at the very least."
Farmers will plant the sorghum in October on fallow land and harvest it as
early as February when early season cane has low sucrose levels and
produces little ethanol.
Monsanto is working with 20 mills, he said. The company will either sell
the seeds or furnish them for free and take a cut of the profits,
according to Carramate.
"This isn't a replacement crop. It's planted in addition to cane," on land
that mills clear each year to renew their plantations, he said.
Brazil clears and replants about 1.7 million hectares of cane plantations
each year that may support sorghum crops during the inter-harvest period,
he said.
Low Costs
Crushing sorghum stems and processing the juice into ethanol requires no
modification to mills' machinery, though some farmers have had difficulty
planting the small seeds, he said. "The challenge here isn't industrial
but agronomic," he said.
Sweet sorghum may provide mills with an extra $5 million of earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization a year, Bill
Burnquist, general manager of U.S. seed company Ceres Inc.'s Brazil unit,
said at a Sao Paulo conference Sept. 29.
Brazil, the world's largest producer and exporter of sugar, will grow
588.9 million tons of sugar cane this year, down from last year's 623.9
million tons, the country's crop-forecasting agency Conab said Sept. 5.
"This is a great opportunity for sweet sorghum to offset part of the
production gap," Carramate said.Monsanto - Brazil sign soy agreement
Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMTEmail-ID xxxxxxx Date 2005-03-30 15:49:52 SAO PAULO, Brazil, March 29 (Reuters) - U.S.-based biotech seed giant
Monsanto (MON.N: Quote, Profile, Research) said it reached an accord with
soy producers, cooperatives and traders in the southern state of Rio
Grande do Sul over royalty payments for its Roundup Ready technology.
Brazilian producers who use RR soy will pay Monsanto 1 percent of the
sales earned from the 2004/05 crop now being harvested and 2 percent for
the sales of the 2005/06 (Oct/Sept) crop, the company said in a statement
released late Monday.
Monsanto first managed to reach an agreement in 2004 with the soybean
sector in Rio Grande do Sul, the No. 3 growing state, for the use for its
RR technology, which was technically illegal in Brazil at the time.
Last season producers agreed to pay 0.60 reais ($0.20) per 60-kg bag in
royalties at the point of sale for the use of the cost cutting technology.
Virtually all of the black market genetically modified (GMO) soy planted
in Brazil is RR. The brand is widely used in Argentina and is believed to
have been smuggled into Brazil around a decade ago.
The signing into law of a new biosafety bill last week is expected to lift
Brazil's long-standing ban on GMO crops and RR soybeans are expected to be
the first to be planted legally in Brazil.
Brazil is the world's second largest producer of soybeans after the United
States, and is expected to harvest more than 50 million tonnes from the
current crop.

Argentina Tax Officers Raid Monsanto Offices In ARS5 Million Claim
February 27, 2008: 05:16 PM EST
BUENOS AIRES -(Dow Jones)- Argentina's tax agency, AFIP, said
Wednesdaythat some of its officers entered seven local offices of the
agricultural biotech company Monsanto Co. (MON) with search warrants to
obtain documents related to a tax evasion charge.
In a statement released late Wednesday, AFIP said the raid was made in
connection with a case initiated against Monsanto's local subsidiary on
Aug. 23 last year.
The agency said it had detected evidence that Monsanto's local unit had
mismatched the accounting of its invoices with the actual sales periods,
reducing its taxes to the tune of 5 million pesos.
Company representatives weren't immediately available for comment.
