NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India will not allow seed companies such as Monsanto
"Companies like Monsanto should not exploit farmers just because they have technology," he said on the sidelines of a conference.
Last month India cut the royalties paid by local firms for Monsanto's genetically modified cotton seeds by nearly 70 percent, ignoring a threat by the world's biggest seed company to leave if it did.
"Be it seeds or pharmaceutical companies we should see to it that there is no monopoly," Singh said.
