well I think this was wheat, but... point is, the Indian company didn't want it. Actually now that I look closer they seem to be a multinational that owns a company in India. But anyway. For whatever reason or even for no reason, they said they didn't want the stuff. Why does biotech company feel that their non-customer (the Indian company) is not entitled to refuse to buy wheat that does not meet their specifications for whatever reason? Isn't that what capitalism is all about?
