ZTC was founded in 1956 by a British national, Mr. Roy Smith, in a British colony then known as Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The company’s core business was transporting copper from the mines in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) to Southern Rhodesia for onward transmission to overseas markets in Europe.

Neither company is financially strong enough to develop the distribution channels necessary to bring the product to world markets. World Agra Distributors, Inc. has negotiated contracts with both companies for the exclusive right to market their seed. Bio Labs signed an agreement to receive an annual royalty of $1,000,000. In contrast, Scientific Associates chose an agreement that provides for a royalty of $0.50 per pound of seed sold. Both agreements have a 10-year term. During Year 1, World Agra sold approximately 1,600,000 pounds of the Bio Labs, Inc. seed and 2,400,000 pounds of the Scientific Associates seed. Both types of seed were sold for $1.25 per pound. By the end of Year 1, it was apparent that the seed developed by Scientific Associates was superior. Although insect infestation was virtually nonexistent for both types of…
