Stop Trading!: Monsanto Is Key to Food Crisis

Monsanto and its genetically modified seeds could be a solution our present food crisis. In fact, Cramer’s sure of it.

“We're not going to grow our way out of this without out Monsanto [MON  Loading...      (%)   ],” he said during Friday’s Stop Trading!.

The company’s forward thinking is bringing much-needed high-yield seeds to market, Cramer continued, while fertilizer names like Mosaic [MOS  Loading...      (%)   ], Agrium [AGU  Loading...      (%)   ] and Potash [POT  Loading...      (%)   ] do their part to boost crop output.

“There is no hope otherwise,” Cramer said. “The granaries are empty.”

In the chemicals sector, the Mad Money host said he’d choose Owen Illinois [OI  Loading...      (%)   ] over Eastman Chemcial [EMN  Loading...      (%)   ]. OI, a glass maker, is riding a comeback in that business, and “EMN’s up too much.” Though Eastman’s a buy on any pullback, Cramer said.

Jim's charitable trust owns Owen Illinois.
