In 2010 Brazil exported more than 1500 types of agricultural products to foreign marketsCommercial partners

Around 79% of the Brazilian food production is consumed domestically and 21% is shipped to over 212 foreign markets

Agribusiness in Brazil is driven by innovation

Evolution of Agricultural Systems in Brazil

Increase in grain production over the last 20 years has been a result of increased productivity;

Grain volume has increased by 2.5 in the period, while the harvested area has grown less than 30%;

Without advances in crop productivity and increased agricultural systems efficiency, additional 58 million ha would have been necessary to reach todays production.

International Cooperation

Labex KoreaLabex KoreaInternational Cooperation is Key to Embrapa

Today Embrapa has:

78 bi-lateral agreements with 89 institutions in 56 countries;

Multilateral Agreements with 20 International Organizations;

At project level, there are numerous agreements involving several countries, organizations and research networks. The success of Brazilian tropical agriculture motivates countries with similar problems and challenges to seek information and partnership with Embrapa.

Challenges and Opportunities

Labex Korea


We need a new knowledge-intensive revolution to address:The raising cost of energy and the need to reduce the use of petrochemical inputs in agriculture;

The vulnerability of agricultural systems to global environmental change and to biological threats;

The need to increase the productivity of environmental services and natural resources, and to protect fragile biomes;

The need to promote the multi-functional roles of agriculture;

The need to reduce the technological divide between social groups & regions;

The growing demand for traceability and certified sustainable production

37


Key challenges in the next 10 to 20 years: To intensify research and use of advanced biology in genetic improvement;

To pursue the development of a strong and sustainable Brazilian bio-economy;

To develop further and intensify the use of precision farming and new tools for safety and pest monitoring and control;

To improve and intensify the use of integrated systems (agro-animal-forest);

To generalize the use of IT as a tool to reduce trade costs, especially by small-scale producers;

To accelerate the integration of value chains;

To promote sustainable overall increases in production and productivity;
