New quiz: Monsanto does not sell soybeans in Argentina because Argentina’s courts have made it impossible for MON to enforce its IP there. Hence, MON would be powerless to stop soybean farmers in Argentina from using MON’s seeds without paying a royalty.

On the other hand, MON does a strong business in Argentina selling corn without incurring any risk of losing sales from stolen IP.

Q: What is the distinction between soy and corn that makes for such a different outcome?
