GHG PRODUCTION In the last 20 years Brazil showed the
greatest growth rates in annual methane emission estimates (2.12%/year)
Brazil showed the greatest growth rate of beef production (4.01%/year).
Brazil: (−1.82%/year) of net increase in rate of methane emissions per unit of product (kilograms of methane/kilogram of beef)
![Page 21: BRAZIL SOUTH AMERICA](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568152d9550346895dc0f531/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
LAND USE – GRAZING Brazilian beef operations are mostly based
on perennial tropical grass graying systems.
The production cycle conducted exclusively on grazing systems with only mineral supplementation during the dry season leads to older animals at market. This productions cycle from birth to market averages 36 months.
![Page 22: BRAZIL SOUTH AMERICA](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568152d9550346895dc0f531/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
LAND USE – GRAZING Grazing combined with stocker phase
(concentrate supplementation) or feedlot operations during the dry season (winter) in the recent decade.
Birth: end of winter / beginning of spring Weaning: beginning of fall, calfs are avg. of
7 month old.

BRAZIL CHALLENGES/ LIMITATIONS FOR BEEF PRODUCTION
![Page 26: BRAZIL SOUTH AMERICA](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568152d9550346895dc0f531/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BRAZIL - Challenges/ Limitations for Beef Production
1. Maintaining/Increasing Production on reduced pastureland.
The recently overhauled “Forest Act” (2012)-force farmers to replant trees on illegally cleared areas (80% of rural properties in the Amazon should be covered by forests). -Farmers will be limited from expansion
Expansion of cashcrop production (soybean)- has increased land prices- forced cattle production to move to the North
![Page 27: BRAZIL SOUTH AMERICA](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568152d9550346895dc0f531/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
2. MAINTAINING CURRENT GROWTH
- While there is potential for further increase in productivity, the industry is heterogenous, uncoordinated and strategically not well-defined.
Overcoming lack of infrastructure- roads railways, processing plants to comply with international standards
Manage public perception about of deforesting the Amazon to create grazing for cattle; GGE
Controlling greenhouse gas emissions
![Page 28: BRAZIL SOUTH AMERICA](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568152d9550346895dc0f531/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
3. GAINING MARKET ACCESS AND KEEPING THE COUNTRY A LEADER IN THE MARKET
Delivering a traceable product-requires huge investment.-Control systems susceptible to bribery. It is possible for tags to be removed and cattle to move without documentation.-Address potential for abuse in biosecurity and disease control.
Manage the dynamic, aggressive global market-Competition for market share will increase from Argentina, Australia with similar production systems.
Overvaluation of the Brazilian Real, (1,7:1) with US Dollar – - This has directly reduced the competitiveness of Brazil's low value commodity exports.
![Page 29: BRAZIL SOUTH AMERICA](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568152d9550346895dc0f531/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
3. GAINING MARKET ACCESS AND KEEPING THE COUNTRY A LEADER IN THE MARKET
Managing breeding programmes- Increased resistance from producers to changes in herd genetics causing ''backyard'' deals.
Improving quality of product-Currently producing lower value, slower growing and poor muscle grass- fed beef cattle. -Brazil is a top producer in terms of quantity , not quality
YET;''The future portends market segmentation of meat demand based on quality attributes.''
![Page 30: BRAZIL SOUTH AMERICA](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568152d9550346895dc0f531/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
ARGENTINA Future is uncertain: continuous government intervention in order to provide for domestic
market and control inflation. Global share of exports will not increase in the short term because of government's objective
to control inflation.
CHALLENGES
- Gaining market access - Their image as a reliable supplier has been damaged.-Increasing cow- calf herd which was reduced in the past years.- Beef cattle production on less land- More land is being used for grain and oilseed production.
Increasing investment especially to expand capacity to take advantage of the current economic environment.
High export taxes – Government has removed rebates on exports.
![Page 31: BRAZIL SOUTH AMERICA](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568152d9550346895dc0f531/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Production will increase as intensification increases.Is not expected to increase its global share of exports because of government's goal to reduce inflation – (15% tax on all exports to lower prices in domestic market).It is possible to take advantage of;
1. The current decline in beef production in the EU.2. Increase in demand in the EU as there is a rebound from the BSE crisis.3.Increasing demand from Russia as World oil prices are increasing.4.FMD outbreak in Brazil.5. Use corn feeding – highly productive cheap in Argentina6. Trade liberalisation and elimination of farm domestic support policies- all Mercusor countries.7. Currently high meat prices – Even if supply increases and prices fall Mercusor countries have low costs and will thrive than other countries.
A PERSPECTIVE FOR BEEF PRODUCTION IN ARGENTINA
![Page 32: BRAZIL SOUTH AMERICA](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568152d9550346895dc0f531/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Has potential to maintain dominance as one of the biggest beef exporters. Will face stiff competition from mainly Australia which has similar production but
supplies premium beef cuts to EU markets. In the long term; The current efforts may pay off; (aggressive marketing,traceability system, favourable exchange rate, subsidised
credit, infrastructure development, improvement in animal genetics, stable government) TO INCREASE PRODUCTION.
Herd sizes will increase – low production costs. Brazil will benefit from trade liberalisation and removal of farm support schemes;
will be able to deal with fluctuations in input costs. Intensifed farming will increase as a response to land pressure.
A PERSPECTIVE FOR BRAZIL BEEF INDUSTRY
![Page 33: BRAZIL SOUTH AMERICA](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568152d9550346895dc0f531/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
BRAZIL: FUTURE PERSPECTIVE
Herd sizes will increase – low production costs.
Intensifed farming will increase as a response to land pressure- produce relatively cheap feed .
Brazil will benefit from trade liberalisation and removal of farm support schemes; Will be able to deal with fluctuations in input costs Intensifed farming will increase as a response to land pressure- produce relatively
cheap feed . Diet will be more grain-based
Although feedlot numbers (currently 4%) will increase, they will continue to push the ''natural product'' as a marketing initiative. (Thompson, 2008)
Increases of production will be offset by consumption as income increases; Net surplus will decrease
.
