This document discusses key performance indicators for biotechnology companies. It defines biotechnology as using living systems to develop useful products. It then discusses three key performance indicators for biotechnology companies: high technology, capital intensity, and public relationships. High technology is measured by advancements in research and development. Capital intensity emphasizes the large investments required to develop products, sometimes over $100 million for a single product. Public relationships and transparency are important for maintaining investor confidence and a positive public image.

13. Monsanto Testimonial
Shri. Sadanand Sharma,
Devan village,
Khagaria district Khagaria, Bihar*
"I have been sowing Monsanto DeKalb® maize seeds since 1992. Before that
we were using seeds of other companies. However, our financial condition
improved after we started planting Monsanto seeds. In 1992, we only had 10
acres of land where we planted different hybrids. Today we own 40 acres of
land and a double storey house. I could also educate my daughters before I got
them married. Both my sons are studying in the Khagaria city – one of my sons
is doing his BA, while the younger one is in 11th standard. This improvement in
my life has come thanks to Monsanto's better quality seeds, which ensures
better output of my farm land."
