2. With the development of biotechnology the independent seed companies will have a hard time obtaining access to this new development.
At the same time the speed of new varietal development will be decreased from the current 7-10 years to possibly as low as 6 months to 2 years. The future developments for biotechnology are astounding [eg.. yield increases, improved feed value and efficiency, insect and
disease resistance, and on on and on...]. This technology will be hard for the independents to acquire and afford. The key to these
developments will be taking the very best of germplasm we currently have available and inserting the biotech genes we can develop. ABT
has this leading germplasm to build on and has the distribution [and +people+] to get these products to the end user.
3. With these changing times in agriculture as to technology, all of the multi-national chemical companies can see down the road that for them to stay competitive [ie.. herbicides, insecticides,etc...] they must have the access to seed germplasm to promote their chemical products. The only major seed company left that isn't owned or has an equity partner is ABT. These companies aren't looking at what they need in the next
2-3 years but the next 10-20 years. This is the reason for the higher than normal purchase prices [eg.. 3-6 times sales].
4.ABT has excellent potential for a buy-in buyout due to its germplasm, distribution, and above all its people.
