The impact of economic reforms on R&D by the Indian seed industry
2001
Pray, C.E. | Ramaswami, B. | Kelley, T.
Declining support for public research and advances in technology and new forms of legal protection have induced more private agricultural research. In developing countries, this has sparked a debate about appropriate policies regarding private research. In this context, we examine empirically the consequences of reforms in India's seed policies which loosened various restrictions on the private sector. The period since the reforms has shown a remarkable increase in R & D effort and an increase in the number of private technology suppliers. We argue these changes were largely due to policy reforms.
