Amazon Gets Fresh, Bayer Loves Basmati: Toxic Influences in Indian Agriculture

The citizens of India have a problem. In what the media like to call ‘the world’s biggest democracy’, there is a serious, proven conflict of interest among officials in the areas of science, agriculture and agricultural research that results in privileging the needs of powerful private interests ahead of farmers and ordinary people.
This has been a longstanding concern. In 2013, for instance, prominent campaigner and environmentalist Aruna Rodrigues said:
“The Ministry of Agriculture has handed Monsanto and the industry access to our agri-research public institutions, placing them in a position to seriously influence agri-policy in India. You cannot have a conflict of interest larger or more alarming than this one.”
In 2020, Kavitha Kuruganti (Alliance for Sustainable and Holistic Agriculture) stated that the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee had acted more like a servant for Monsanto — there is an ongoing revolving door between crop developers (even patent holders) and regulators, with developers-cum-lobbyists sitting on regulatory bodies.
However, the capture of public policymaking space by the private sector is set to accelerate due to a recent spate of memorandums of understanding between state institutions and influential private corporations involved in agriculture and agricultural services, including Bayer and Amazon.
Corporate capture
As part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and Amazon (June 2023), farmers will produce for Amazon Fresh stores in India as part of a ‘farm to fork’ supply chain. It will see “critical inputs” in agriculture and “season-based crop plans” in collaboration with Amazon based on “technologies, capacity building and transfer of new knowledge.”
This corporate jargon ties in with the much-publicised notion of ‘data-driven agriculture’ centred on cloud-based data information services (which Amazon also offers). In this model, data is to be accessed and controlled by corporates and the farmer will be told how much production is expected, how much rain is anticipated, what type of soil quality there is, what must be produced and what type of genetically engineered seeds and inputs they must purchase and from whom.
This has been described as the recolonisation of Indian agriculture, which will eventually involve a handful of data owners (Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet etc.), input suppliers (Bayer, Corteva, Syngenta, Cargill etc.) and retail concerns (Amazon and Walmart-Flipkart — both firms already control 60% of India’s e-commerce market) at the commanding heights of the agrifood economy, determining the nature of agriculture and peddling industrial food. Farmers who remain in this AI-driven system (a stated aim is farmerless farms) will be reduced to exploitable labour at the mercy of global conglomerates.
This is part of a broader strategy to shift hundreds of millions out of agriculture, ensure India’s food dependence on global finance and foreign corporations and eradicate any semblance of food democracy (or national sovereignty).[1]
In addition to the MoU with Amazon, an MoU was signed between the ICAR and Bayer in September 2023. Bayer (it bought Monsanto in 2018), which profits from various environmentally harmful and disease-causing chemicals like glyphosate, signed the MoU to help “develop resource-efficient, climate-resilient solutions for crops, varieties, crop protection, weed and mechanization”, according to the ICAR website.
The ICAR is responsible for co-ordinating agricultural education and research in India, and Bayer seems likely to exploit the ICAR’s vast infrastructure and networks to pursue its own commercial plans, including boosting sales of toxic proprietary products.
But that’s not all. According to the non-profit GRAIN in its article ‘The corporate agenda behind carbon farming’, Bayer is gaining increasing control over farmers in various countries, dictating exactly how they farm and what inputs they use through its ‘Carbon Program’.
GRAIN says:
“You can see in the evolution of Bayer’s programmes that, for corporations, carbon farming is all about increasing their control within the food system. It’s certainly not about sequestering carbon.”
Given the seriousness of what is laid out by GRAIN in its article, India’s citizens and farmers should take heed, especially as the ICAR website states that a focus of the MoU with Bayer will be on developing carbon credit markets.
In a letter (14 July 2024) to Rabindra Padaria, principal scientist at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), and Himanshu Pathak, director-general of the ICAR, Aruna Rodrigues says:
Inking in ICAR’s formal partnership with Bayer (Monsanto) quite simply confirms straightforwardly that the ICAR protects its interest, which is the same as those of Bayer-Monsanto, large chemical/herbicide corporates… the ICAR has ditched its mandate to Indian farmers and farming, which is to promote farmer interests as a priority in an unbiased and objective assessment of what is right and good for Indian farming and food… “[2]
A separate ‘citizen letter’ (20 July 2024) has also been sent to Pathak on the various MoUs that the Indian government has signed with influential private corporations.[3] Hundreds of scientists, farmer leaders, farmers and ordinary citizens have signed the letter.
It states:
“Bayer is a company notorious for its anti-people, anti-nature business products and operations in itself and, furthermore, after its takeover of Monsanto. Its deadly poisons have violated basic human rights of peoples across the world, and it is a company that has always prioritised profits over people and planet.”
It goes on to say that it is not clear what the ICAR will learn from Bayer that the well-paid public sector scientists of the institution cannot develop themselves. The letter says entities that have been responsible for causing an economic and environmental crisis in Indian agriculture are being partnered by ICAR for so-called solutions when these entities are only interested in their profits and not sustainability (or any other nomenclature they use).
The letter poses some key questions such as: Where was the democratic debate on carbon credit markets? How is the ICAR ensuring that the farmers get the best rather than biased advice that boosts the further rollout of proprietary products? Is there a system in place for the ICAR to develop research and education agendas from the farmers it is supposed to serve as opposed to being led by the whims and business ideas of corporations?
These are fundamental questions given that agriculture is a state subject as per India’s constitution. It is all the more concerning given that the authors of the citizen letter note that copies of the MoUs are not being shared proactively in the public domain by the ICAR.
The letter asks that the ICAR suspends the signed MoUs, shares all details in the public domain and desists from signing any more such MoUs without necessary public debate.
However, on 19 July, there were reports that the ICAR had signed another MoU, this time with Syngenta for promoting climate resilient agriculture and training programmes. In response, the authors of the letter state that the ICAR has (again) partnered with a corporation that has a track record of anti-nature and anti-people activities, selling toxic products like paraquat, class action suits against its corn seeds and anti-competitive behaviour.
Mutagenic HT rice
It is becoming clear who the ICAR actually serves. Let us return to Aruna Rodrigues and her letter to Rabindra Padaria (IARI) and Himanshu Pathak (ICAR) for additional insight.
Rodrigues’ letter focuses on the commercial cultivation of basmati rice varieties tolerant to imazethapyr-based, non-selective herbicides. These chemicals can be liberally spayed on herbicide tolerant (HT) crops because the crops have been manipulated to withstand the toxic impacts of spraying.
The HT varieties of rice have undergone some form of mutagenesis rather than genetic engineering. Mutagenesis has traditionally involved subjecting plant cells to chemical or physical agents (e.g. radiation) that cause mutations to the DNA in the hope that a resulting mutation may produce a desirable effect in the plant. This kind of mutation breeding has been used for decades but only affects a minority of the plants on the market. Industry watchdog GMWatch says this risky technology (mutagenesis breeding) in the past managed to escape regulation.
So, this HT crop by the mutagenesis route is not defined as ‘genetic engineering’ (the method usually used to create HT crops) and therefore falls outside the purview of current GM regulations.
Although the Supreme Court-appointed Technical Expert Committee (TEC) bars HT crops (a) for being an HT crop and (b) on account of contamination of crops in a centre of genetic diversity, it has been a long-standing aim of biotech companies like Bayer (Monsanto) to get HT crops cultivated in India.
Rodrigues asks:
“Is it a deliberate decision of the ICAR to use the mutagenesis route to produce HT rice varieties (tolerant to imazethapyr) with the explicit objective to bypass the formal regulation of GE crops/GMOs?”
Rodrigues accuses the ICAR of effectively ditching its mandate to Indian farmers, many of whom regard organic farming as their competitive advantage. This step is also a potential threat to India’s export markets, which are based on organic standards, along with the necessary co-surety that India’s foods and farms are not contaminated by herbicides, a consequence of using HT crops.
By adding a trait for herbicide tolerance, the ICAR is informed:
ICAR’s action directly impacts this vital issue of contaminating our germ plasm in rice and contravenes a Supreme Court Order of “No Contamination”. Furthermore, our export markets for basmati are in excess of US $5 billion in 2023-24. Your action will also directly impact India’s exports and thereby, impact farmer export potential, incomes and income opportunities that premium prices provide.”
Moreover, Rodrigues asserts that the entire mutagenesis process for HT rice must be elaborated, especially when the mutant variety is for the purpose of human consumption. The ICAR is duty-bound to provide, for example, whether a physical or a chemical mutagen was used, the range of doses used and the toxicity for the said material, the herbicide(s) used to test the HT of the basmati rice being used, the concentrations of the herbicides used and the genetic mechanism by which HT rice through mutagenesis has a resistant gene to imazethapyr.
While the issue of intellectual property rights for the HT rice varieties using mutagenesis is unclear, the ICAR and IARI have executed a technology transfer agreement of the HT trait for commercial cultivation.
A failed technology
In her letter, Rodrigues states that, based on empirical evidence of 35 years of HT crops in the US and Argentina, HT crops are a failed technology: it spawns super weeds, increased herbicide use and no added performance yield. Moreover, for India, HT crops are a perverse use of technology, whether genetic engineering or through mutagenesis, that risks small and marginal farmers’ crops and herbs and plants used in many Ayurvedic medicines because of herbicide drift. It will also uniquely impact the employment of women in weeding.
She goes on to state that in the US overall herbicide use has increased more than tenfold since the introduction of HT Crops (1992-2012 figure). In addition, HT crops are designed for monocultures and completely unsuited to Indian small-holder, multi-crop farming: anything not HT will be destroyed, the resistant crop stands, but everything else dies, including non-target organisms.
The herbicides used with HT crops are also a major human health issue. There is a strong link between glyphosate and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In relation to this, there are more than 100,000 lawsuits winding their way through US Courts. Glyphosate (used in Bayer’s Roundup herbicide) is also an endocrine disruptor and is linked to birth defects. Rodrigues notes that Monsanto and the US Environmental Protection Agency had both known for over 40 years that glyphosate and its formulations cause cancer.
Other herbicides used by Bayer include glufosinate (used in its Liberty herbicide), which is acknowledged as more toxic than glyphosate and, like it, is a systemic, broad spectrum, non-selective herbicide. It is a neurotoxin that can cause nerve damage and birth defects and is damaging to most plants that come into contact with it.
Glufinosate is banned in Europe and not permitted in India. It has been implicated in brain developmental abnormalities in animal studies and is very persistent in the environment, so it will certainly contaminate water supplies in addition to food where it will be absorbed.
Imazethapyr (contained in Bayer’s Adue herbicide) is also a systemic broad-spectrum herbicide and is banned in some countries and not approved for use in the EU.
Prof. Jack Heinemann (University of Canterbury in New Zealand) adds that the likes of imazethapyr must be tested for their ability to cause bacterial antibiotic resistance. An important concern given that India’s population has some of the highest levels of antibiotic resistance in the world. Any spread of HT crops would put people at severe risk of resistance and disease.
Despite these environmental and health concerns, the herbicide market in India is projected to grow by around 54% in the next five years, from USD 361.85 million in 2024 to USD 558.17 million by 2029.
In her letter, Rodrigues concludes:
“In view of the above evidence of serious irreversible harm to health, food and agriculture across several dimensions and contravention of the PP (Precautionary Principle), it is a required scientific response for the ICAR to immediately withdraw HT rice varieties and desist from introducing any HT crop through mutagenesis.”

Take comfort, India. UN says Africa will overtake Asia with highest number of hungry people by 2030
https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/article/2024/jul/24/africa-to-overtake-asia-with-highest-number-of-hungry-people-by-2030-says-un
Cry the beloved continent. A prophesy made in the 1960s comes true. A French writer wrote a book called: Sub-Saharan Africa, One Should Not Start from There. He contrasted two probable trajectories: China vs Africa. China had suffered terribly from WW2, devastation and mass starvation. Africa was virtually unscathed by the War. Yet this Frenchman predicted a better future for Communist China than for an Africa which had been given nominal freedom but was still shackled by “the mind forged manacles of man” to elitist capitalist policies of the EU$A. This year South Africa confirmed his worst expectations by union between a corrupt ANC and an exploitative Anglo-American oriented Democratic Alliance.
No need to be overly technical:
-. Almost every industrial proprietary agro-chemical is poisonous, not just herbicide.
-. Washing, peeling or cooking does not eliminate such a poison.
-. There is no evidence that GM food – not sprayed – is safe; early experiments showed the opposite.
-. There is almost no control or labeling on where the food is sent or what it is added to.

“Not even close”, says this economist. Then talks for 20 minutes about the reasons why China can manage its economy while India can not. I switched off after 7 minutes because he did not mention that China was managed by the Chinese Communist Party. He is an economist, after all, Western trained like most Indian professionals to believe that all the state has to do is shower the people’s wealth onto Plutocrats then the Plutocrats will trickle it down to the masses.
India had a Communist Party once, in Kerala. It was the state with the best standard of living; but I havn’t heard anything about Kerala for decades.
Update on Kerala, the only Communist state in India:
“Directly or indirectly, the social cooperative brings together an agrarian economic network of at least 100,000 farmers in the state. In 2020–21, the turnover of its members was 325 million rupees. They are overcoming peasant exploitation not just at the firm level but also through retail outlets and statewide marketing and distribution networks, counteracting the injustices that arise from capitalist market relations.
The BDS experiment shows how cooperation and worker-peasant solidarity can transform agriculture into a reliable option for people to earn their livelihoods even in a time of agrarian crisis.
Overall, the BDS has successfully mobilized farmers and agricultural workers in the fields of production, procurement, and processing. It has challenged the exploitative chain of intermediaries and the dominant role of corporate firms in the Indian agricultural sector, helping transform agrarian workers from low-income daily wage-earners into modern farmers with a stable monthly income. It has actively resisted the pauperization that neoliberal policies have inflicted on much of rural India, and contributed to agricultural modernization in the Wayanad district.”

That is silly.
At this point I recommend reading “Technofudalism” by the economist Yanis Varofakis. The thesis behind the book, to quote one review, “argues that Big Tech has replaced capitalism with a new economic system based on data extraction and control”. As a technologist I can see areas where the author has missed the point a bit (and it is a fast moving subject so its to be expected) but overall I’d rate it as right on the money, its the most coherent explanation for “what’s going on?” that I’ve come across.
Varoufakis is a glib, self-advertising fake. As minister of Finance in the Greek government (with all his usual personal hype in the media) he signally failed to take the 3 obvious steps that would have save Greece from the clutches of the EU$A:
1, Issue an arrest warrant for those previous Greek politicians who got Greece into the EU$A by cooking the books.
2, Issue an arrest warrant for those Goldman Sachs accountants whom previous Greek politicians hired to cook the books.
3, Issue an arrest warrant for the Council of Europe who accepted Greece into the EU on the basis of account books which had obviously been cooked.
Varou Fake-is, the playboy economist.
Quite possibly true but it doesn’t invalidate his argument.
This is a problem with modern discourse — we ignore the message and attack the messenger because they’re flawed, we don’t like them etc. Its actually a neat trick to inoculate the prevailing ideology from criticism, especially if its backed up with persistent propaganda that generates prevailing moods and feelings towards potential critics.
Varofakis comes up with a convincing explanation as to why my government (US) has it in for companies like Huawei and Tictoc — and its absolutely nothing to do with the kind of BS they feed the ‘rubes. Worth at least some consideration.
< The citizens of [ Insert Name of Country] have a problem.

Project fear is failing as people are wise to these inhuman conglomerates – we just need to shun them and not buy their so-called ‘foods’/products. Eat local, organic food like our ancestors naturally did (and if you can start to grow your own fruit and veg) and we will be healthier.
Ultimate wisdom I found recently and I reckon to be true. There is nothing in this world to be afraid of if you have faith in the fact that goodness/love will always prevail over evil/fear. For harmony and health for all, we only need to constantly remember and live by the following three things:
LOVE FOR ALL- “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” — The central ethical teaching of Jesus Christ
FAITH – “Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive; and they shall come unto you” — Jesus Christ (Mark 11:24)
INNER STRENGTH – “Each person is born with an infinite power, against which no earthly force is of the slightest significance” — Neville Goddard
Now I need to stop forgetting and remember to keep following them myself!!!
“there is an ongoing revolving door between crop developers (even patent holders) and regulators”
1. Keep eating altered foods and you will eventually get allergies to them.
2. Courts ruled in favor of geneticists in the Myriad trial. It was decided that humans can be patented if they produce synthetic genes, and the v-patents have plenty of them, including benign Hepatitis A receptors that present little to no morphological change on the cell (patentable).
3. Exactly zero conversations have been held discussing protections from patenting humans. This is a massive red-flag; if you took the vaccine, it is up to you to get the protections. Sitting back and expecting other people to do it isn’t going to work.
Project fear is failing as people are wise to these inhuman conglomerates – we just need to shun them and not buy their so-called ‘foods’/products. Eat local, organic food like our ancestors naturally did (and if you can start to grow your own fruit and veg) and we will be healthier.

Is India self-sufficient in food?
The country has achieved self-sufficiency in food grains and has ensured there is enough food (in terms of calories) available to feed its entire population. It is the world’s largest producer of milk, pulses and millets and the second-largest producer of rice, wheat, sugarcane, groundnuts, vegetables, fruit and cotton.
India would be self-sufficient in food production if it stopped exporting some of the crops that it grows.

I’m no fan of Icke but his idea that when something was nowhere and then suddenly it’s everywhere you know it’s part of the agenda seems spot-on. Latest example: “overtourism”…
https://dumptheguardian.com/travel/article/2024/jul/23/island-off-northern-french-coast-imposes-quota-to-tackle-overtourism
This is just one of many examples in the corporate media recently. Unsurprisingly the oldest use of the term I’ve seen comes from… the World Economic Forum.
It’s the thin end of the long nobody’s-going-anywhere-unless-you-have-a-private-jet wedge. It starts with attempting to guilt-trip the gullible with economic punishments/rewards and compulsion likely to follow further down the road.
BTW I don’t doubt that tourist influxes create real problems for some locations as they’ve done for decades until the WEF found another grievance they could weaponise – but do these places really want to hobble their prime and possibly only source of income?

Agenda item indeed.
Like all those unwanted tourists euphemistically described as illegal immigrants are going back home after their welcome expires.

‘fringe benefits’.
The very beginning lays out the agenda: “A small, picturesque island off the north coast of Brittany has imposed a summer tourist quota in an effort to ensure visitors have a more enjoyable experience and its 400-odd permanent residents do not feel swamped.” i.e. We must cut the numbers down. There’s no room for all this riff raff! The neologism is casually sneaked in as if it’s been in use for decades and its meaning is undisputed: “The move to tackle overtourism follows similar steps by cities such as Amsterdam, Paris, ….” A paragraph on the financial and regulatory terrorism used to “dissuade” the undesirables (“increasing tourist taxes; introducing entrance fees, time slot systems ….”) leads to the notion of “curbing overtourism”. We then hear about efforts to “keep day tripper numbers below a critical threshold of 5,500”. “Critical threshold”? As if exceeding that limit would lead to…. something unpleasant. The old pandemic meme rustles in the background. So we get an explanation: “Once you reach or pass that level, nothing works – there’s nowhere for people to park at the ferry terminal at Ploubazlanec, not enough seats on the boat, all the restaurants on the island are full, the hire bikes run out, the cycle paths are rammed” Really? Didn’t it work before? “Now, we’re asking the ferry companies to encourage people to book in advance and regulate the flow.” “Regulate the flow”? Are we talking about people here or liquids in an experiment? “While some of the island’s hotel, restaurant and shop owners were initially sceptical about the quota system, Carré said the economic impact had been “extremely limited”, with many being unable to point to any significant fall in earnings.” Really? Cutting out all those people has “extremely limited” economic impact? The only way that would work… Read more »

On one hand you are dealing with the absolute greed factor that is the 1%. They are willing to shelve their consciences and sell their souls for lots of money and the limited power that they are allowed. On the other hand you are dealing with the .0001% who have control via the money supply and ownership of most everything in the world. They have no soul and totally control the 1% to their end and used them as a layer of insulation. So even if we were able to force Bayer out of existence by boycotting and/or having them banned, the Satanic Cabal aka the .0001% would just change the formula and rebrand them. As many of us recognize their plan is to destroy our existing world order and usher in the next using genocide by various means on a scale never seen before. We must find ways to survive and one way is to produce our own healthy food locally. Revolution is coming, it has to. The question is will it be peaceful or will it be violent…
