For the cottonseed industry to acknowledge that children are working and producing hybrid cottonseeds is in itself a major gain...The industry has accepted that they are a part of the problem and therefore acknowledged that they have to be a part of the solution...The seed industry must take a further step and bear the primary responsibility for labour practices on their farms...To date, only two MNCs (Advanta and Syngenta) have shared with MVF [M. Venkatarangaiya Foundation] a copy of their contract agreements with seed growers.
