ENVIRONMENT IN CHINA We are a unique company in a favorable market
environment. China exports many things to the world marketplace;
however is one of the largest importers of grains and foods in the
world. Hundreds of millions of Chinese depend on imported grains to
support higher demand for meat and poultry which are fed with
imported grains. The Chinese government has mandated that farmers
increase crop yields to decrease the nation's dependence on foreign
imports. Moreover, there is growing emphasis on the need for
"green" fertilizers that restore the soil, rather than deplete it.
