To understand why demand for corn and corn products is rising exponentially and our #1 pick could double your money in 12 months, you need only consider these two simple factors:

While we eat fairly well here in the U.S., both China and India face food shortages brought on by population growth, water shortages and smaller harvests.

As a result, both countries have already turned to the U.S. markets for grain and livestock. However, that's simply a short-term solution. In order for these countries to secure their food security, they must continue to develop their own agricultural industry.

This is why we at the Blue Chip Growth Letter believe that the biggest opportunity lies in genetically modified seeds. The reason is simple: Genetically modified seeds not only increase crop yields, but also increase nutritional value while reducing susceptibility to crop-killing pests.

Because growing your own food increases your country's food security, demand is exploding.

Today, more than 8 million farmers in 17 million countries grow genetically engineered crops on 200 million acres—a 20% increase from a year ago.

However, this number is expected to double by 2010, driven by China's expected approval to grow genetically engineered crops.

That's just one reason why corn prices are exploding and why taking a small position in the world's leading producer of genetically engineered seeds could easily double your money in the next 12 months.

The Second Big Reason Why Global Demand for Corn Seeds Is Exploding

In addition to demand from China and India pushing up corn prices, higher oil prices are driving up demand for corn products as well.

How can this be? Because you don't drill a well to produce ethanol; you grow it! Many investors may not realize this, but ethanol is grain alcohol produced from corn.

If you've never heard of ethanol, it's the grain alcohol that went into gasohol in the 1970s to help us get over the Arab oil embargo.
