[quote=MUDDIEDKNEES,281506]I have to agree with GRIZ, the big agro-industrial companies will benefit a lot, except that I'm not sure whether only US companies will benefit. I believe the bulk of money consumers end up paying for food products end up in the hands of these companies. They control many of the materials that go into agricultural production, including fertilizers, pesticides, animal feed, and seeds. They also buy and process agricultural products into the basic food factory ingredients like flour, whey (from milk), egg powder, starch, etc. Small farmers will benefit, but their gains will be minimal. Unless farmers in China have direct access to the market, I think middle men and retaillers will benefit more.[/quote]
