Portuguese term

crescimento vegetativo

Portuguese to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Aqui no sentido de nascimento e morte, como usado em pesquisas. Pelo que entedi "vegetative growth" em inglês se refere a crescimento de plantas não ao outro sentido. Alguma idéia? Obrigado

(contd.) Search Google for <company + "organic growth">, and you'll get plenty of sentences like this: "....The Company's subscriber base has expanded to include a number of new ... With continued organic growth, we are well-positioned to achieve our
Lia Fail (X) Sep 27, 2004:
(contd.) 'vegetative growth' is for a plant context. Here they mean that the company grows at a 'natural' rhythm (i.e. without huge investments in expansion, mergers, buyouts, ect). So I would say 'natural growth' or as someone suggested 'organic growth'
Lia Fail (X) Sep 27, 2004:
Just some comments: it's certainly about the company's growth, not the economy's. The use of 'vegetativo' here should not be confused with 'vegetate' in EN which implies no growth/development. 'natural increase' would be the term in a demographics context

OK, I got it. Here it goes : "Crescer para fazer frente � concorr�ncia e ser o agente consolidador do setor moageiro, no entanto, este crescimento deve ser decorrente do crescimento vegetativo e do ganho sobre a concorr�ncia, para manter margens atuais"

Amilcar Sep 27, 2004:
Not that it matters to me, you can take a bad fit if that is what you want, but let me tell you that what respondents mean by context is primarily the surrounding text: the complete phrase, or more. Other useful context could be title of section, ...

Hi Ailish, the text is about a company in the wheat milling area, analyzing its own situation. I guess that natural increase or growth as was suggested is the one in the context. Thanks for the help. You guys are great.
Lia Fail (X) Sep 26, 2004:
It would be nice to have the context sentence, despite all the explanations!

What is Vegetative growth?
Added by: Viewed: 491 times Rated by 19 users: 8.29/10
Vegetative growth is the second stage in the life of a plant after it completes germination and begins photosynthesis. During this stage a plant will be photosynthesising as much as possible to grow as large as it can before the onset of the flowering (Generative) phase. In essence it is the period of growth between germination and the beginning of sexual maturity characterised by flowering.
All plants have a vegetative stage where they are growing as fast as possible.
