Monsanto's CEO on Growing in a Recession <> <> It almost sounds like science fiction: Amid the furious discounting among retailers, one firm has been able to raise prices as much as 25 percent on some products. Its stock has managed to climb this year, despite a volatile market. What’s more, the company has supporters claiming it can cure world hunger and critics accusing it of endangering the global food supply and environment. <> <> <object height="250" width="300"> <param /> <param /> <param /> <param /> <param /> <param /> <param /> <par>>>>...
