This brings the total of seed types to over one million since the vault was first opened for deposits in early 2008. On February 25 more than 60,000 new seed varieties were placed in the Svalbard vault, the largest deposit of seeds since it opened. What makes this entire seed bank enterprise suspicious at the very least is the list of financial sponsors behind the global project. The Svalbard “Doomsday” Seed Vault on Spitsbergen Island north of the Arctic Circle just received an additional major shipment of plant variety seeds for its special storage. The Global Seed VaultĪgainst the backdrop of the spreading fear about a global coronavirus pandemic, an event has slipped largely under the radar at a spot so removed from the rest of the world that most are unaware of its existence. Through wrongful and biotech patenting, a small group of agro-chemical companies exerts extreme control over crop genetics, including Monsanto/Bayer, Cargill, Dupont and Syngenta. US farmers have seen a 64% rise in seed prices in the past three years, directly to this cartel. Its patented biotech straits are in 90% of US soybeans and in 80% of US corn. Monsanto alone accounts for 60% of the corn and soybean market in the US. The top ten world seed companies account for over 65% of all world seed sales, – with the top three – Monsanto, DuPont, and Syngenta – accounting for half of all sales of patented seeds. There is tight control over seeds and high-yield seed traits. Cargill, through its Nutrena feed division, is also the biggest producer of animal seed and hybrid seed in the world, while Continental Grain, through its Wayne Feed division, is also a major producer of feed and hybrid seed production. Having bought Purina Mills, BP is now the second largest feed producer in America. BP, through its Nutrition division, is the largest feed producer in Europe. The cartel also controls feed for animals and seed for planting. Earnings and profits are up 20% in recent years for all these firms, while shortages and hunger worsen. No other forces in the world, including governments, are as well organized as the cartel, and therefore, London’s power in this area remains unchallenged. own world shipping fleets, and have long-established sales relationships, financial markets, and commodity trading exchanges (such as the London-based Baltic Mercantile and Shipping Exchange) on which grain is traded, which completes their domination. In fact, however the control is far greater than the sum of its parts: The Big Six grain companies are organized as a cartel they move grain back and forth from any one of the major, or minor, exporting nations.Ĭargill, Continental, Louis Dreyfus et al. He Anglo-Dutch-Swiss –American food cartel dominates 80-90% of the world grain trade. On every continent, potential food productivity, through national water, power, and agro-industrial improvements has been deliberately subverted, to the point now of mass hunger and starvation. Beyond gargantuan profiteering, the result of today’s cartel practices is genocide. If this sounds like a replay of the British East India Company, dictating conditions and trade in rice, indigo, cotton, tea, opium, and other goods of their time, it should.
