(By starting this board this is not an endorsement or suggestion that anyone buy one share of stock in this company.) I personally own a paltry 1,000 shares and bought them strictly as a “lark” investment because of my piqued interest caused by a recent article in The Economist. There are way too many issues in investing in foreign stocks and especially because of where this company is domiciled. With that said, I find the following factors highly amusing: 1) This company is profitable (if one can believe the accounting principles applied) and earnings growth for 2006 is expected to double to $1.00 per share. 2) The CEO is a female. 3) When one considers that the average biotech CEO here in the USA could expect a “monthly” salary of at least $23,000.00, I find it amazing that the CEO for this company makes a “yearly” salary of $23,000.00. 4) And one just has to love a company that shows it’s fiscal address as being .North Part of Xinquia Road From The Economist article I learned that in 10,000 years, the earth’s population has doubled ten times, from less than 10M to more than six billion now and ten million soon. Most of the calories that made this increase possible have come from three plants: maize, rice, and wheat. The oldest, most widespread and until recently biggest of the three crops is wheat. It could be said that wheat is the staple crop of mankind, and its history is that of humanity. The growth of wheat planting and harvesting has followed an amazing trend and spread from one region of the world to other regions in a very fast pace! By 5,000 years ago wheat had reached Ireland, Spain, Ethiopia and India. A millennium later it reached China: paddy rice was still thousands of years in the future. Wherever they went, the farmers brought their customs: not just sowing, reaping and threshing, but baking, fermenting, owning, hoarding. By 9,000 years ago they had domesticated cattle, to which they could feed wheat to get meat and milk. By the 1800’s a limit to yield required that farmers find better sources of fertilizing their crops. In about 1830 a potent source was found: guano. Guano mining became a profitable business, and a grim one. Off South –West Africa, the discovery in 1843 of the tiny island of Ichaboe, covered in 25 feet of penguin and gannet excrement, led to a guano rush followed by a mutiny and battles. By 1850, Ichaboe, minus 800,000 tons of guano, was deserted again. In the 1960s India was on the brink of disaster brought on by starvation of its people. One Norman Borlaug, who was working in Mexico developing new types of fungus-resistant wheat funded by the Rockefeller Foundation finally brought it findings to India and literally saved this nation from total destruction. Later, Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. And what is amazing is that after Borlaug went to India and introduced his new wheats, the world population growth rate, in percentage terms, began falling significantly. It might be said that human beings may be the only creatures that have fewer babies when they are better fed. Merely look at where the population is expected to grow over the next 50 years: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Somalia, Uganda and Yemen. Even with this slowing population growth rate there still will be issues in providing food sources for the people of the world. It will require at least 35% more calories than the world’s farmers grow today. That will mean either better yields or less rainforest-which is why fertilizers, pesticides and transgenes are the issues of the future. Now think about the economic growth in China! The growth in manufacturing, thus many farmers moving from the rural countryside to work in the plants located in the metropolitan areas…and still they have to be fed. Fertilizers and Pesticides…this is why I find Bodisen Biotech(BBC) of great interest! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Bodisen Biotech Inc.
