"Research Woes: Ag research has obstacles"

http://www.countryworldnews.com/news/headlines/1199--research-woes-ag-research-has-obstacles.html

"While U.S. spending on agriculture research has been stagnant, China and Brazil have greatly increased spending in the same area. China has committed $47 billion to agriculture research and development over the next 10 years. The ARS and the National Institute of Food Agriculture (NIFA) operate on about $2 billion annually, Upchurch said. Brazil, with a fraction of the population of the U.S., has allocated $2.6 billion a year to agriculture research. Upchurch has mixed feelings about this."

Might be of value to an investor, knowing the numbers on ag research in general in China vs US. Certainly fertilizer in general comes into the mix when we talk ag research.
