The influence of a small-scale maize processing industry with local impact may also play a significant role in some target populations, especially in some poor countries.
Equivalence assumed Glyphosate herbicide applied at prescribed rate Irrelevant analysis presented [78] 2008 Healy et al. Industry GT-maize MON88017 Feeding study in rat No significant effects found.
The researchers picked maize because the food-processing industry already has a huge amount of experience with this crop.
Local mills are more vulnerable to increases in fuel prices than are large industries producing commercially distributed maize flour.
The city's modern economy is well diversified, based on agriculture (notably cotton, corn [maize], and soybeans), industry (including the manufacture of lawn and garden equipment, power tools, flooring, appliances, and air compressors), and its educational facilities.
This is despite the fact that the variety of GM maize usedin this study was judged by industry and regulators as being substantially equivalent tothe corresponding non-GM closest isogenic line [3, 30].
Poor product stability, especially due to fat content, results in the need for frequent processing of maize at the household and small-scale industry level.
It is true that some subsidies amount to unwarranted market-rigging: examples include those handed by cloudy Germany to its solar-power industry and by America to its maize-based ethanol farmers when Brazilian sugar-based ethanol is far cheaper.
We can make a difference by seeking out diverse varieties of foods, by stepping out of the comfort zone of rice, wheat, maize, soya and palm oil and demanding the food industry offers diversity not only in flavour but also in the types of ingredients used.
This paper explores these issues in the context of Asia's rapidly growing seed industry, with illustrations from seed markets for maize and several other crops, to highlight current gaps in the metrics used to analyze performance, competition, and innovation.
