| Summary / Abstract (Note) | It was the Musharraf government that opened the doors to corporate farming with offers of minimum blocs of 1,000 acres with no upper ceiling and decade-long tax holidays. But except for Monsanto, the US-based chemical multinational that now poses as a seed company, entering the country eight years ago to serve agriculture with chemical-dependent genetically modified seeds, there were no takers in the post 9/11 years. |
