Dear Members:
I am writing to inform you that the second issue of
AgBioForum is now on-line
(http://www.agbioforum.missouri.edu/). The second issue
deals with the structural impacts of biotechnology on the agri-food chain
and the ongoing industry consolidation. Contributed papers focus on the
impacts of industry consolidation on farmers; the impacts on the various
upstream related industries - chemicals and seeds; and the impacts on the
processing and food industries. Additional papers address the affect of
intellectual property rights on industry consolidation; the valuation and
expected performance of seed and biotechnology company acquisitions; and
give a European perspective on the recent consolidation of the seed
industry.
AgBioForum is an on-line magazine which publishes articles
on the economics and management of agricultural biotechnology. AgBioForum
is edited and published out of the University of Missouri-Columbia, and is
funded by the Illinois-Missouri Biotechnology Alliance (IMBA). Contributors
are academics, private and public sector analysts, and decision makers. It
is available free-of-charge.
I hope that you will find this issue a useful resource. If
you have any specific questions please contact

editorial policy, and submissions is available on-line.
