Excellent news today. Validation of the company's products by Sipcam, who are massive, and their long-term involvement with a major shareholding and seat on the Eden board should reassure the doubters. How long though before you-know-who starts shouting his nonsense?

The article above printed the section i have cut and pasted below. I am not sure if anyone here is familiar with bees but 300,000 is five or six hives.

If youve driven round France you will know the vast country it is. Saying half a dozen hives are lost every year is far too trite. In fact nonsence.

The writers of that article should be taken with a pinch of salt in my humble......


In France alone, 300,000 bees, the most famous victims of neonicotinoids, disappear every year.

Using the rudimentary google translate, there are a number of interesting parts in the article - suggesting application pre flowering etc - use in mid June and July etc.
While not wanting to raise expectations, that implies 3AEY sales in the first half to 30 June.
Positive article for 3 LOGY

Will there be pesticides in organic products soon?
The Member States of the European Union are unable to agree on the revision of the Regulation on organic production. In order to unblock the dossier, the possibility for each State to define its own acceptable thresholds of pesticides in products has been proposed. The French producer federations fear a distortion of competition between the countries

It is an initiative with little media coverage, but that could mark a real change in the organic world. On Monday, 12 June, the EU Agriculture Council discussed the regulation on organic production. This regulation has to be revised since 2014. However, not all Member States agree.
For example, the Belgian government has for two years opposed "the text on the table which provides that a product may retain the organic label, even if it contains pesticide residues, which is not acceptable". Therefore, Phil Hogan, European Commissioner for Agriculture, proposed that Member States develop their own systems with variable residue authorization thresholds. In other words, each Member State could define itself a rate of pesticides contained in products compatible with the organic label.

"This text will introduce distortions of competition"The categorical refusal of Belgium and the downfall of the federation of producers. "As far as contamination by pesticides is concerned, the compromise under discussion opens a Pandora's box ... This text will introduce distortions of competition, since each Member State is free to define its decommissioning rules independently of its neighbors, Feared several federations.At the end of the meeting, the Member States did not take a decision, but about ten of them expressed reservations about the project presented. A new proposal is due in late June, but producers' federations remain concerned.

Fear of loss of consumer confidence
"The French Minister of Agriculture, Jacques Mézard, says he wants to get a satisfactory compromise in front of the Member States, and he has never raised our demands and demands. "Said Charles Perrin of Synabio, the national union of organic companies, questioned by Novethic. "We are calling on the minister and we want harmonization of regulations, which does not detrimentally affect the organic labels," adds Iris Roze of APCA (Permanent Assembly of Chambers of Agriculture).
The Ministry of Agriculture, solicited by Novethic, has not yet unveiled its policy on this point. It must also be positioned on other topics. Notably on a proposal from the European Commissioner which would allow derogation from the annual control of certified producers. "A requirement that ensures that organic products meet the specifications," the federations recalled. The risk with this proposal is that consumers lose confidence in the labels

Spanish watermelons and melons take over the European market

The melons and watermelons of overseas are slowly making hollow to the Spanish product in the market. "Spain is already sending a considerable volume of watermelons from Almería, and before that in years past," explains Jacob Aktalan, of MG Fruit. "Regarding the overseas product, there are still watermelons in Costa Rica and the last ones in Panama."

The price of watermelons of large calibers is around 0.60 euros per kilo, and the smallest calibers are close to 0.50 euros. The Gaul are situated at about 5 euros. Yellow melons continue to come from overseas for the most part, and their price has plummeted to about 7.50 euros. Cantaloupe melons still come from Costa Rica in considerable volumes, which results in prices of around 5 euros, "summarizes Aktalan.

According to the importer, sales of small-caliber watermelons, in particular, are under pressure. "Calibres 4 and 5 have a limited availability and that is why Quetzali and seedless watermelons are also working well. The offer of real quality Spanish watermelons will start as it should in the third week of May.Galia and Cantaloupe melons Almeria, traditionally, do not have much demand. An alternative are the Moroccans, who are very tasty, but do not usually guarantee GlobalGAP certification. "

Watermelons tend to become smaller and smaller. "This process started in Scandinavia and is also taking place in other countries. The Dutch distribution also calls for more and more miniature watermelons, and those that lack seeds in particular," Aktalan said. "However, it should be noted that most watermelons are destined for cutting plants and export markets, and there the size is much less important

I found it interesting looking at various Italian residue stats which describe much of the harvest as hitting regulation residue targets ( together with the comments on the BBC Radio 4 programme where the comment was made about the 20% increase in juice (from memory) that can be achieved by using Mavelone as it can be sprayed much closer to harvest and thus the fruit gets bigger and sweeter/Ripper.

Another big selling point over conventional fungicides IMO.

This article looks at the accepted residue levels and issues that remain for consumers and the ecology.
(and maybe increasingly relevant as multiple fungicides are used to 'manage' resistance... although being no expert that's a total layman guess)



Legambiente: "Contaminated with pesticide residues a third of the fruit and vegetables on the tables of Italians"

According to the environmental dossier, the food outlaw (i.e. with at least one chemical residue that exceeds the limits) is only a small percentage: 1.2% in 2015, was 0.7% in 2014. Much higher, however, the legal contamination between vegetables, fruits and processed foods: 36.4% of the total. President Rossella Muroi: "The study highlights the effects of a normative vacuum, lacks specific regulation in relation to the problem of simultaneous use of multiple active ingredients on the same vegetable "

Green tea is good, unless it is contaminated by a mix of 21 different chemicals. Same speech for berries, so fashionable in diets. It is a pity that some samples analyzed in a Lombard laboratory contained up to 20 different chemical molecules. Also in table grapes and wine, all of the national origin, residues of 7, 8 or 9 substances were also found simultaneously. Although outbound products (ie at least a chemical residue that exceeds the limits of the law) are only a small percentage (1.2% in 2015, 0.7% in 2014) between vegetables, fruit and processed products , Contamination by one or more pesticide residues accounts for one-third of the products analyzed (36.4%). This is what appears in the Legambiente Stop pesticide dossier, which collects and processes the results of pesticide contamination analysis in fruit and vegetables produced by Environmental Protection Agencies, Experimental Zooprophylactic Institutes and Asl. "The study highlights the effects of an empty regulatory norm" Said Legambiente President Rossella Muroni, who said that "there is still no specific regulation with regard to the simultaneous use of more active ingredients on the same product". Hence the possibility of defining "regular", and then to market without problems, contaminated products from the chemical principles simultaneously if concentrations within legal limits. "Without taking into account the possible synergistic effects between chemicals in the same sample on people's health and the environment," he explained

CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES IN AGRICULTURE - Despite the growing spread of sustainable agronomic techniques, the use of chemical products for agriculture in Italy remains significant. The situation improved between 2010 and 2013 with a downward trend of 10% use, but in 2014 there was a new trend reversal and the consumption of chemicals in the countryside grew again, rising from 118 To about 130,000 tonnes compared to the previous year. Overall, Italy is ranked third in Europe in the sale of pesticides (by 16.2%), followed by Spain (19.9%) and France (19%), but is second in the use of fungicides . But positive is the growth of farms that choose not to use pesticides and to produce according to biological and biodynamic criteria, following the forms of agriculture linked to the vocations of the territories. The organic agricultural area in Italy, in fact, between 2014 and 2015 has increased by 7.5%.

CONTAMINATED PRODUCTS - Even this year, the amount of pesticide residues that Environmental Protection Agencies and experimental zooprophilic institutes have found remains high. In 2015, the accredited public laboratories analyzed 9608 samples (from conventional agriculture) between processed fruit and vegetables and honey compared to the 7132 analyzed in 2014. The irregular samples (1.2% in 2015) slightly rise, while products contaminated by one Or more residuals at the same time reach 36.4% of the total, so more than a third. The percentage of regular samples with no residual, however, slightly up from 58% in 2014, stands at 62.4%. Among the extravagant cases, extra-EU products such as green tea with 21 chemical residues and berries with 20, but also cumin with 14 different substances, cherries with 13, lettuces and tomatoes with 11 or grapes with 9 active ingredients. Once again the fruit is the compartment where the highest percentages of multiresiduo and the main irregularities are recorded.

DANGERS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT - "But the massive use of pesticides has no significant impact on people's health alone," Legambiente points out, "because more attention must be paid to the negative environmental impacts." In fact, new molecules formulated have been placed on the market without adequate knowledge of soil accumulation mechanisms, transfer dynamics, and long-term fate in the environment. Morale: "Efforts in terms of biodiversity loss, soil fertility reduction, acceleration of soot erosion" should be better assessed. Water health is also heavily threatened by the unusable use of pesticides. So far, since the latest National Water Pesticide Report published this year by Ispra, 224 different substances have been found in Italian waters, a sharp increase compared to the previous years.

So even if it's £35M that's ~ 20% of what Bayer spend ($200m)on commercialisation.

Surely you have to give massive credit to EDEN for that. ??

Some of the costs and delayed income were incurred outside EDEN control ie delayed French approval.. Eden lost a years income from that market because of that alone.

The Share price needs to see a road towards profitability to appreciate IMO which we should see this year. Until then we may well 'languish' as you say.

I would not be surprised if LivingBridge buy a further stake should the opportunity arise.

RE directors buying..I',m seeing the same pattern from a company with what I judge to be similar potential.. SEE ..so although all of us would like to see Director buying I DON'T judge it to be a Negative sign of the companies future performance when they don't.

Also none of us really know if there has been any opportunities for Director buying which would not have broken FSA/Securities regulation etc.

Journal article : Pest Management Science 2010 Vol.66 No.9 pp.967-973 ref.44
Abstract : BACKGROUND: Botrytis cinerea Pers.: Fr. is a high-risk pathogen for fungicide resistance development that has caused resistance problems on many crops throughout the world. This study investigated the fungicide sensitivity profile of isolates from kiwifruits originating from three Greek locations with different fungicide use histories. Sensitivity was measured by in vitro fungitoxicity tests on artificial nutrient media.

CONCLUSION: This is the first report of B. cinerea field isolates with resistance to both boscalid and pyraclostrobin, and it strongly suggests that there may be a major problem in controlling this important pathogen on kiwifruit.
