12 Embrapa and the Brazilian Green Revolution - Adapted cultivars to the Brazilian tropical climate (e.g. soy) - Research allowed agriculture in weak soils (Brazilian Savanna Cerrado ) - No-till farming - Very successful experiences in controlling plagues and diseases Yields (1976 = 100) / / / / / / / /12 Soybean Corn Wheat 12

13 Brazil rises as a global player in the Agricultural arena Very competitive producer! 5 Tobacco Sugar Corn 3 3 Coffe 1 1 Soybeans 2 21 Extremely inefficient bringing its production to the market! Cotton 4 5 Orange 1 1 Production Exports 13

14 2 Infra-Structure: The quest for competitiveness 14

15 Brazilian Transportation Matrix Brazilian Transportation Matrix 3.80% 0.10% Overdependence on road transport (only 15% paved) 11.70% 21.70% 62.70% Highway Railway Waterway Pipeline Airway Source: ILOS, 2010 Soy Exports Transportation in US Soy Exports Transportation in Brazil 5% High Cost (15% of Brazilian GDP) and slow transit time 22% 12% 66% 67% 28% Railroad Road Waterw ay Source USDA Railroad Road Waterw ay 15

16 Logistics Bottlenecks: Railway System - State controlled since 1957 (focused on few sectors: iron ore, fuel, cement) - Lack of market orientation and planning (subsidized by the state) - Economic shocks in the 70/80 s led to lack of investments until Privatization possible only in the 90 s after economic stabilization - Very low railway density / Low Competition 16

17 Logistics Bottlenecks: Waterways / Ports km of coast with 76 ports (34 public ports) Main Ports - Few (4) inefficient public ports handling the bulk of Brazil s agri exports (> 85%) - Insufficient warehousing capacity congesting the ports at harvest season - Old and confusing legal framework finally addressed 17

18 Logistics Bottlenecks: Costs loads of money! 18

24 3 Brazilian Production and World Food Prices 24

25 Demand: The Club of Rome was right - World population expected to grow to 9 bln people - Urbanization / increase in wealth - Change in dietary habits - Sustainable / renewable energy In 2050 it is expected that world food demand will be twice current demand 25

26 Brazilian supply can definitively grow! - Land - Sun Hours - Water - Pioneering Spirit - Scale - Agronomical Research - Stable Economic Policies - Sustainable Practices Brazil USA Russia EU India China Canada Argentina Available Occupied Source: FAO 26

27 Brazilian supply can definitively grow! Millions of hectares* Total Landmass Forest and Native Vegetation % 58% Arable Land % Others 15 2% Available 103 Pasture Land 30% % Crop Land Sugarcane 55 8,7 16% 2.6% Source: Cosan 27

28 Prices? - If food price was that expensive the World would not be wasting so much - Brazilian inefficiencies are already reflected in the Futures prices - Development of new areas requires attractive remuneration to producers - Improving the Brazilian infra-structure would allow substantial growth in the remuneration of Brazilian producers without increasing prices - Yields should continue improving in Brazil (faster than expansion to new areas) 28
