GM and the 45yr rotation
Cathran Bowyer
I have been receiving various Arborgen alerts for the past few days. They all tell the same story – they have applied to the Brazilian government for permits to grow GM eucalypts and hope to be in production by 2012. Have a look at the Rubicon report to shareholders re the Arborgen tree machine! You have to scroll down past the Tenon report. They are talking about a 4.5 year rotation! How will Gunns and the other agri forestry businesses compete with this??
