  • Determinants of Firm‐Level Lobbying and Government Responsiveness in Agricultural Biotechnology in China

    Open AccessHaiyan Deng, Ruifa Hu et al.ARTICLEReview of Policy Research2019References: 12

This paper examines the factors influencing agribusiness firms' lobbying and government response using econometric modeling on a new data set of 160 leading agribusiness firms in the food, feed, chemical,…

    Although genetically modified (GM) crops are being grown on increasing large areas in both developed and developing countries, with few minor exceptions, there has been almost no country that has commercialized a GM major food crop. One reason may be that it is unclear how the commercialization of GM crops will help poor, small farmers. The objective of this article is to report on the results of an economic analysis that uses 3 years of data fro…

  • Supplying crop biotechnology to the poor

    Carl E Pray, Anwar NaseemARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2007

    Unlike the public-sector research that launched the Green Revolution, private firms based in industrialised countries have done the majority of agricultural biotechnology research and almost all commercialisation of genetically modified (GM) crops. This paper examines consequences of the emergence of a few large companies as leaders in the commercialisation of biotechnology by addressing issues of access to technology, costs of conducting researc…

  • The Impact of Agricultural Research in British India

    Open AccessCarl E PrayARTICLEThe Journal of Economic History1984Cited by: 1References: 2

    This paper attempts to answer three questions. How much did agricultural research contribute to agricultural growth in British India? Was its limited impact due to too little investment or inefficient allocation of research resources? Could more research have led to a "Green Revolution" in foodgrain production? Available data indicate that the impact of research was small and that more should have been invested in research. The evidence suggests,…

    The green revolution was a transfer of the idea of fertilizer-responsive grain varieties and the capacity to develop them from temporate countries to the countries of South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Key actors in this transfer of technology included the public research institutions in the less-developed countries (LDCs), the International Agricultural Research Centers, the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, and the Un…
