Coimbatore, Dec 25

The Attur-based Rasi Seeds has bagged the “Bio Agri Company of the year 2007” award for its “outstanding efforts” in promotion of Bt cotton seeds in the last cotton growing season. The award, instituted by ‘BioSpectrum’ of Cyber Media Group, was given away at a function in Bangalore last week. According to the survey conducted by BioSpectrum, Rasi Seeds achieved a Bt cotton seeds sales turnover of close to Rs.320 crore during the current year and topped the list of Bio Agri Companies. Out of the total Bt cotton produced in the country during the last Kharif season, Rasi’s contribution was 25 per cent, which was equal to 4 million packets (each weighing 450 grams) out of the total 16 million packets of Bt cotton seeds distributed during the season. The survey ranked companies in five segments – BioPharma, BioAgri, BioServices, BioIndustrial and BioSuppliers. –
