7 6 1. INTRODUCTION This report is an update and revision of the report Projections of Agribusiness - Brazil 2012/13 to 2022/23, Brasília - DF, June 2013, published by the Strategic Management Office of Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply. The study aims to indicate possible directions of development and provide support to policy makers about the trends of the major agribusiness products. The results also seek to answer to a large number of users in various sectors of national and international economy for which the information now disclosed are of enormous importance. The trends indicated will identify possible trajectories, as well as to structure future vision of agribusiness in the global context for the country keep growing and conquering new markets. Projections of Agribusiness - Brazil 2013/14 to 2023/24 is a prospective view of the sector, the basis for strategic planning of MAPA - Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply. For their preparation the work of brazilian and international organizations were consulted, some of them based on models projections. Among the surveyed institutions highlight the work of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development ( OECD), United Nations (UN), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Policy Research Institute / Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Japan (PRIMAFF), Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil (CNA), Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Institute for International Trade Negotiations (ICONE), Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA), National Supply Company (Conab), Embrapa Dairy Cattle, Energy Research Company (EPE), the Sugar Cane Industry Union (UNICA), Brazilian Association of Planted Forest Producers (ABRAF), Federation of Industries of São Paulo (FIESP), STCP Consulting, Engineering and Management, Brazilian Association of Pulp and Paper (BRACELPA), Brazilian Association of Vegetable Oil Industries (ABIOVE) and the Brazilian Agribusiness Association (ABAG). The study was conducted by a group of experts from the Ministry of Agriculture and Embrapa, which cooperated in various stages of preparation. Benefited also from the valuable contribution of people / institutions who analyzed the preliminary results and reported their

8 7 comments, views and ideas on the results of the projections. Observations related to these collaborations were included in the Report, without nominate partners, but the institutions to which they belong. 2. SCENARIOS OF PROJECTIONS The scenario of rising prices should remain in Figure 1 shows the quarterly prices received by U.S. farmers for crops and livestock. Despite the relative price fluctuations, the trend since 2005 has been lifting. Note that the prices of livestock products in 2014 have higher growth rates than crops.

9 8 Domestic prices in Brazil have also shown a tendency to increase in some products as shown in Table 1. For some products, such as soybeans, corn, cattle, rice and cotton prices have shown a trend of growth in The prices for these products in 2014 are higher than the historical rates and also the prices of Table 1 Prices received by Farmers in Brazil Product Unit Historical price Wheat R$/t Soybean R$/SC 60kg Corn R$/SC 60kg Bovine R$/@ Rice R$/SC 50kg Cotton Cent./libra peso Source: Cepea/Usp. Position at 17/04/2014 Brazil expects a record grains harvest in 2014, estimated at million tons. 3. METHODOLOGY The projections cover the period 2013/14 to 2023/24. In general, the basic period of the projections cover 20 years. Taking into account the last year experience, we decided to use, this year as a basic reference period information after Between 1994 and today, as we know, entered a phase of economic stabilization and this allowed a reduction of uncertainty in variables.

10 9 The projections were performed using specific econometric models. They are time series models that have great use in forecasting series. The use of these models in Brazil, for the purpose of this report is unprecedented. We are not aware of published studies in the country who have worked with these models. Three statistical models were used: exponential smoothing, Box- Jenkins (Arima) and State-Space Model. There is a methodological note (Annex 1) which presents the main characteristics of the three models. The projections were performed for 26 agribusiness products: corn, soybeans, wheat, orange, orange juice, chicken, beef, pork, sugar cane, sugar, cotton, soybean meal, soybean oil, fresh milk, beans, rice, potatoes, cassava, tobacco, coffee, cocoa, grape, apple, banana, pulp and paper. The report, however, not discussed all products, but their data are shown in the tables that are part of the Annexes of the study. The choice of the most likely model was made as follows: 1 Consistency of results; 2 International comparisons of data production, consumption, export, import and trade in the country and the world.; 3 last trend of our data; 4 Growth Potential; 5. Consultations with experts. The projections were generally for production, consumption, export, import and planted area. Some tests with productivity of some crops were conducted. The tendency was to choose more conservative models and not those indicated bolder growth rates. This procedure was used for selecting the most selected results. The projections presented in this report are national, where the number of products studied is comprehensive; and regional, where the number of analyzed products is restricted and has specific interest.

11 10 The projections are accompanied by prediction intervals which become wider with time. The greatest breadth of these ranges reflects the greater uncertainty associated with more distant the last year of the series used as the basis of the projection forecasts. 4. RESULTS FORECASTS FOR BRAZIL a. Grains Projections of grains refers to the 15 products surveyed monthly by CONAB as part of their harvest surveys. This set of products is called grains by Conab. As of this update projections already has the data to the eighth survey of harvest (May survey) for the soy complex products, corn and other products, was used for the 2013/2014 harvest data released by Conab( 2014 ): soybean, soybean oil, soybean meal, corn, beans, meat (beef, chicken, pork), and sugar cane. Thus, the data from 2013/2014 are projections Conab. The projections in this report for these products starting in 2014/2015. The estimates of grain production point to a crop of million tons in 2013/14, and a planted area of 56.4 million hectares (Conab 2014). These two variables are the largest that have been achieved in Brazil over the years.

Projections for 2023/2024 are a crop around million tonnes, representing an increase of 30.4% over the current crop. At the upper end projection indicates a production of up to million tons in 2023/24. The grain area should increase 17.8% between 2013/14 and 2023/24, from 56.9 million in 2013/2014 to 67.0 million in 2023/2024, which corresponds to an annual increase of 1.6 %.

15 14 b. Cotton lint Cotton production is concentrated in the states of Mato Grosso, Goiás and Bahia, which account for in 2013/ % of the country s production. Mato Grosso has the lead with 56.2% of the national production been folloed by state of Bahia, with 29.8% of the Brazilian production, and Goiás, with 4.9%. COTTON LINT National Production Harvest Year 2013/2014 (Thousand tons) Major producing states % 1, MATO GROSSO GOIÁS BAHIA 29.8 MT BA GO Total 1, Source: Conab - survey june/2014 The projections for cotton lint production indicate 1.67 million tons in 2013/2014 and 2.35 million tons in 2023/24. This expansion corresponds to a growth rate of 3.1% per year over the projection period and an increase of 40.5% in production. Some analysts noted that the projected production is quite high. What has been argued is that with the emergence of new technologies is possible to obtain higher yields. However, what we have checked is that the research has reached a stage where progress in productivity levels is proving slow or stagnant. It was also observed that

16 the projection for 2014/15, 2,143 thousand tons may not occur and that the tendency is to fall short, close to 2013/14 production of 2013/14, 1,672 thousand tons of cotton lint. The consumption of this product in Brazil should grow at an annual rate lower than 1.0% in the next ten years, reaching a total of 939 thousand tons consumed in 2023/24. Exports are also forecast strong growth, 55.4% between 2013/14 a 2023/24 The report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA, 2014) indicates that Brazilian exports between 2013/14 and 2023/24 will more than double, with the country that should increase its exports in the next 10 years. Also according to this source, in a few years Brazil will overtake Central Asia as the third largest source of cotton for export. Brazil has exported to large number of countries, but the main importers in 2013 were South Korea, Indonesia, China, Argentina and Vietnam. 15

Rice Although the rice is a common culture in most of the country, most of the production occurs in 5 states - Rio Grande do Sul, with predominantly irrigated rice concentrates 65.8% of production in 2013/14, Santa Catarina, 8.7% of production, Mato Grosso, 5.2%, Maranhão,5.4 % and Tocantins,4.4% of national production. In the Northeast, especially in the state of Ceará rice is irrigated and concentrated on irrigation projects. A small amount is also produced in the states crossed bythe São Francisco river pass, as Bahia, Sergipe, Alagoas and Pernambuco and these areas also receive irrigation.

19 18 MARANHÃO MATO GROSSO TOCANTINS RICE Harvest Year 2013/2014 (Thousand tons) % 5.2 National Production 12, RS Major producing states SC MA MT TO SANTA CATARINA RIO GRANDE DO SUL Total 10, Source: Conab - survey june/2014 The projected production for 2023/24 is 13.6 million tons, and consumption of 12.2 million tons. We projected to increase 11.3% in rice production over the next 10 years. This increased production is expected to occur mainly through the growth of irrigated areas. The projected increase in production is apparently low, but it is equivalent to the projection of consumption over the next 10 years. The relative stabilization of the projected consumption of rice is consistent with the data supply Conab in recent years, around 12 million tons in 2013/14 (Conab, 2014). The estimates for the projection of rice planted area show that the area reduction will occur in the coming years. According to the projections it may fall of 2.4 million hectares in 2013/14 to 1.40 million hectares in 2023/24. According Conab technicians consulted, the area reduction is not likely to occur. The same is shared by researchers at

20 Embrapa Rice and Beans. In Rio Grande do Sul, which is now at 1.0 million hectares should remain in that number or even decrease because rice has had to compete with soybean and corn. The new Brazilian Forest Code limits the incorporation of new areas and the opportunity for Highlands Rice for years to come is in the crop rotation, renovation, rehabilitation or renovation of degraded or even livestock grazing in the transition to agriculture (Santiago, Carlo. Embrapa, 2013). The productivity should be the main variable in the behavior of the product in the coming years. The projection indicates a productivity of 5.5 tonnes per hectare, about 300 kg more than the current productivity of 5.2 tonnes per hectare. But rice is concentrated in areas of Rio Grande do Sul where the current yield is 7.5 tons per hectare (Conab, 2014). The consumption of rice in the coming years is expected to grow at 0.2% per year. According to technicians of Embrapa, the projected consumption seems appropriate to the current reality, even if the calculations of apparent per capita consumption have shown declines in recent years. To change this long-term trend, only if Brazil can develop new ways to use and consumption of rice (made from grains of rice products, which depends on R & D and, especially industry, became interested in the subject, which did not can be seen today). 19

Bean The geographical distribution of the main producers of beans in the country can be seen on the map. The product is fairly distributed across several states, although the main are Paraná, Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, which currently produce 74.9% of national production. Such as rice, beans are part of the basic diet of Brazilians. It is the product that more has the production, a trend that should continue in the next years production. Imports are always to fill a small gap between production and consumption (Santiago, C. Embrapa, 2013, and Conab, 2014).

24 According to technicians of Embrapa Rice and Beans, each year increases the discussions on production focused exclusively on the domestic market.there are some varieties of beans that can be used for export. If this new opportunity consolidates the projection of production will have to be adjusted upward. The variation designed for consumption is 3.6%, which is higher than the production variation. Annual average consumption has been 3.5 million tonnes, requiring small amounts of imports. If confirmed projections of production, should be no need to import beans in the coming years. Over the past five years, Brazil has imported annually between and tonnes of beans (Conab, 2014). The opinions of Conab and Embrapa technicians is that there may be major changes in the beans in the coming years. Productivity is expected to increase from current levels as producers of soybeans and corn are producing beans destined for export to China, India and some African countries. The Northeast, although a large producer of this product has imported beans from other states in periods of drought. Mato Grosso has produced beans for export. Some states such as São Paulo and Minas Gerais has been having problems with regards to pests and diseases that attack crops of this product and so far have struggled to adequately control these attacks. 23

Corn The national maize production in the country is relatively sparse. The main producing states, Mato Grosso, Paraná, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul and Rio Grande do Sul should answer in 2013/14 by 70.0% of national production. But the major producing regions are South, the with 31.5% of the national production and Midwest with 42.0%. In South leadership is of Paraná, and in the Midwest, Mato Grosso. These are currently the main producers of corn in the country. But Minas Gerais, Goias and Rio Grande do Sul Minas also account for an important part of national production as shown on the map

For 2014/15 the projected production is between 80.7 and 93.9 million tons as the upper limit of the projection. But the tendency is the production lie nearest the projection. For 2023/24 production is projected million tons. As is well known, in Paraná and Mato Grosso, the biggest producers, soybean areas release space for planting corn. In Mato Grosso it is usual to plant soybeans around 15 September and harvest in January to then start the second maize crop. The limit for this planting is February because the risk of loss due the dry season are great if this period is exceeded. The corn area will increase by 6.4% between 2013/14 and 2023/24, from 15.7 million hectares in 2013/14 to 16.7 million, reaching 22,1 million

28 hectares in 2023/24. There will be no need for new areas to expand this activity as soybean areas release the majority of the areas required by corn. The increase in projected area 6.4% is below the growing rate of the past 10 years, that was 25.5%. But the corn had in recent years high productivity gains resulting in less need for additional areas. The domestic consumption of corn in 2013/14 represents 69.0 % of production should decrease to 62.2 %. Corn exports must pass 21 million tons in 2013/14 to 33.7 million tons in 2023/24. To maintain domestic consumption projected of 64.0 million tons and ensure a reasonable volume level of ending stocks and exports projected, the projected production shoult be of million tons, sufficient to meet the demand in According to technicians working with this culture area should increase more than is being projected and perhaps get closer to its upper limit of growth (See Figure 8) 27

32 31 f. Wheat Wheat production in the country is concentrated in the South, and Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná are the major producers. In 2013/14 harvest, the forecast indicates that Paraná are responsible for 51.9% of the country s production and Rio Grande do Sul by 40.4%. The participation of other states, is of the order of 7.7%. This participation is distributed between Santa Catarina, São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso do Sul.

The projected production for 2023/24 is 10.0 million tons, and consumption of 14.3 million tons in the same year. The domestic consumption of wheat in the country is expected to grow 17.4% between 2013/14 and 2023/2024.

33 32 The domestic supply will require imports of 5.3 million tonnes in 2023/24. In recent years, imports has been set between 5.8 and 7.0 million tons, and the most frequent import volume has been 6 million tonnes with an outflow in nearly 2.4 billion dollars in Although the increase in wheat production in coming years by more than 30%, Brazil should remain as one of the world s largest importer. The USDA report estimated Brazilian wheat imports of 8 million tons in 2023/24 (USDA, 2014).

35 34 g. Soybean Complex Soybean Soybean production expected in the country in 2013/14 is 86.1 million tons Soybean production in Brazil is led by the states of Mato Grosso, with 31.4% of national production; Paraná with 17.1%, Rio Grande do Sul with 14.8%, and Goiás, 10.0%. But, as shown on the map, soybean production is also evolving into new areas in Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia, which in 2013/14 accounted for 10.1% of Brazilian production which corresponds to a production of 8.7 million tons of soybean. This is a region located in the center northeast of the country, which has shown strong potential for grain production, called Matopiba. Despite its deficiencies infrastructure, still attractive price land, the climate, the possibility of deploying large areas and favorable relief, have been several factors that have motivated investments in the region.

36 The projection of soybeans for 2023/24 is million tonnes. This number represents an increase of 36.9% over the production of 2013/14. But it is a percentage that is lower than the growth recorded in the last 10 years in Brazil, which was 64.5% (Conab, 2014). Consumption projections indicate that there must be a large increase in demand for soybean in the international and domestic market. In this market, besides the demand for animal feed, is expected a strong increase in consumption of soybean for bio diesel production, estimated in 2014 by ABIOVE between 10.4 and 12 million tons. This variation depends on the scenario regarding the participation of soybean oil for biodiesel production (ABIOVE matching ). Domestic consumption of soybean is expected to reach 50.4 million tonnes by the end of the projection. Consumption is projected to increase 25.8% by 2023/24. This estimate is close to the growth observed in recent years by Conab of 23.0% within 6 years. There should be an additional consumption of soybean in relation to 2013/14 of around 10.0 million tonnes. As is well known, soybean is an essential component in the manufacture of animal feeds and is gaining importance in human nutrition. The soybean area should increase 10.3 million hectares over the next 10 years, arriving in 2024 to 40.4 million hectares. It is a crop that will more expand area over the next decade. It represents an increase of 34.1% over the area with soybeans in 2013/14. In the new areas of the Center Northeast of Brazil, comprising the region of Matopiba, the soybean area should expand greatly according to Conab technicians. This information goes in the same direction as the results obtained in this work. In the present work, the area of grains in this region should expand by 16.3% over the next 10 years. This equates to reach the region area of 8.4 million hectares, which at its upper limit can reach 10.9 million hectares. In Paraná state, area can grow in the coming years taking areas of other cultures. In Mato Grosso expansion should occur over degraded pastures and new areas, but mostly the first areas. But the trend in Brazil is that the expansion of the area occurs mainly on natural pasture lands. Exports of soybeans designed for 2023/2024 is 65.2 million tonnes, Representing an increase of 19.9 million tonnes for the quantity exported by Brazil in 2013/14. 35

37 36 The expected change in 2024 relative to 2013/14 is an increase in volume of soybeans exports in the order of 44.0%. The soybean export projections in this report are very similar to USDA projections, released in February this year. They design 66.5 million of exports for soybeans at the end of the next decade. This estimate is almost the same as that of this report, 65.2 million tons in 2024.

As production increases planned over the next 10 years is 36.9%, the expansion of the area is 34.1%. In recent years soybean productivity yield has remained stable at 2.7 tons per hectare, and that number is projected to be 3.0 tonnes per hectare in the next 10 years. Soybean should expand through a combination of frontier expansion in regions where there is still available land, pasture land occupation and substituting orther crops where there is no land available for incorporation. But the trend in Brazil is that the expansion occurs mainly on natural pasture lands. Figure 13 illustrates the projected area expansion in sugar cane and soybean, which are two activities that compete for the area in Brazil. Together these two activities in the coming years should presentan expansion area of 12.6 million hectares, 10.3 million hectares of soybean and 2.3 million hectares of cane sugar. The other crops should have little variation in area in the coming

41 40 years. However, it is estimated that expansion should occur in areas of great productive potential, as areas of cerrado understood in what is now called Matopiba for understanding land located in the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia. Mato Grosso will lose strenghts in this process of expansion of new areas, mainly due to the price of land in this state that are more than double the price of crop land in the states of Matopiba (FGV-FGVDados). Because these new ventures regions include areas of great extent, the price of land is a decisive factor.

42 41 Meal and Soybean Oil Meal and soybean oil showed moderate dynamism of production in the coming years. The soybean meal production should increase by 25.1% and 25.9% oil. These percentages are slightly higher than what has been observed in the last decade for both products. However, consumption of meal will have stronger growth than soybean oil, 35.2% and 23.1%, respectively. Exports of meal should increase 15.6% between 2014 and 2024 and 18.4% oil. Exports are presented in the coming years more dynamic domestic consumption in the case of soybean oil.

46 The domestic consumption of soybean oil forecast for 2023/24 is estimated at 6.8 million tons. Represents around 75.6% of projected production. Most of the oil is intended for human consumption and another part has been used to produce Biodiesel. According to ABIOVE in 2014, the average use of soybean oil for biodiesel should be between 2.0 and 2.3 million tons. This represents between 28.0 and 32.3% of soybean oil in 2013/14 harvest. For soybean meal, in the next decade, about 54.0% should be directed to domestic consumption, and 44.6% for exports. We analyzed the data sent by ABIOVE (2014), at our request, in the form of comments to these projections, and it generally converge toward the results presented in this report. 45

Though a period called the High, the expected production this year is supposed to be lower than last year. This crop has a cycle called bienalidade where years there has been a high production and low production the next. Due to weather problems that occurred earlier this year affecting the main producing regions, the harvest expected in 2014 should be equal to or less than last year. Estimates for 2014 indicate a harvest of 46.9 million 60-kg bags, while last year was 49.2 million bags (DCAF-CONAB-ABIC-MDI / SECEX-OIC-CEPEA / ESALQ, BM & F, 2014 )

48 The projections show that the related production in 2023/24 should rise 30.6% compared to 2013/14. This change is equivalent to an annual growth rate of 2.5%. Consumption is estimated to grow 28.9% by 2023/24, the result of an annual growth rate of 2.4%. The consumption in Brazil has grown to an average annual rate of 4.8% according to the International Coffee Organization, OIC, while the world average has been 2.7% per year. The latest estimates of the Ministry of Agriculture indicate an average annual rate of per capita consumption in Brazil of 5.7% per year in the period (MAPA / DCAF, ABIC, Conab, 2014). Coffee exports are projected for 2023/24 at 40.0 million bags of 60 kg. This projected volume represents an increase of 24.0% compared to the exports of 2013/14, representing an average annual rate of 2.2%. It is expected that the country will continue as the world s largest producer and leading exporter as well as keep the usual buyers and valued partners in 129 countries in U.S., Germany, Japan and Italy imported 62.7% of the volume exported by Brazil in

53 52 Consumption is expected to grow at an annual rate between 2.4 and 3.3%, thus following the production of the country, but putting the consuption at a level slightly above the national production, it will require some import. j. Sugar The estimates obtained by AGE and SGE for Brazilian sugar production indicate an average annual growth rate of 3.3% in the 2013/2014 to 2023/2024 period. This rate should lead to a production of 52.9 million tons in Such production corresponds to an increase of 39.7% compared to 2013/14. These projections may be affected if the current situation is maintened where the prospects of the sugar and alcohol sector are not favorable.

Orange and Orange Juice The orange production should increase from 16.3 million tons in 2013/14 crop to 17.5 million tonnes in 2023/24. This variation corresponds to an annual growth rate of 0.7%. The area planted with orange should be reduced in the coming years. It should move from the current 717 thousand hectares hectares to 627 thousand. This indicates an annual reduction in the growth rate of 1.3% per year. Brazil is expected to export 2.6 million tonnes of orange juice at the end of the projection period. But that number may reach, at its upper limit, to 3.2 million tonnes of juice. Trade restrictions in the form of barriers to trade are the main limiting factor for the expansion of the orange juice.

60 59 Projections of meat for Brazil show that this sector should present strong growth in the coming years. Among meat, the projecting higher growth rates of production in the period are chicken, which is expected to grow annually at 3.1%, and swine, whose projected growth for this period is 2.8% per year. The beef production has a projected growth of 1.9% per year, which also represents a relatively high value because it can supply domestic consumption and exports. The total meat production will increase from 26.0 million tons in 2014 to 33.8 million in 2024, an increase of 30.0%.

Estimates project a favorable environment for Brazilian exports. The chicken and pork lead the annual growth rates of exports in the coming years - the annual rate provided for chicken is 3.8% and for pork 3.9%. Exports of beef should be located on an annual average of 3.4%. Meat exports has led to numerous countries. In 2013 the beef was destinated to 143 countries, with the main Hong Kong; chicken was destinated for 144 countries, with Saudi Arabia the main buyer and finally the pork had 72 destination countries, whose main Russia. The expectation is that these markets are increasingly consolidate so that the projections are feasible.

According to Bracelpa technicians production and paper consumption have historically accompanied the growth of GDP. Although the paper can find some demand problem, the projected growth in this report for the production seems small. For cellulose, the projection indicates that would be possible production can meet the growth in domestic consumption and exports of the sector.

74 73 n. Tobacco The inclusion of the projections of some variables related to Tobacco is justified by the importance of the product in the Brazilian trade balance and income formation in the producing regions. Its production occurs mainly in Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná. In 2014, these three states have planted an area of 392 thousand hectares, a total of 417 thousand hectares of land. In Northeast Brazil, there is some production in Alagoas and Bahia. In 2013, tobacco and its products have generated export revenues of $ 3.27 billion. The projected production for 2023/2024 is 1,060 tons. The projected area is 472 thousand hectares, obtained through an annual growth of 1.2% from 2013/14 until the end of the projections

76 75 o. Fruits Among the fruits analyzed in this study, banana is the most widespread throughout the country. But 67.8% of production is in the states of São Paulo, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Santa Catarina, Ceará and Pará. Apple has its production located in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina and grape in Rio Grande do Sul, Pernambuco and Sao Paulo. The fruits have been growing in importance in the country, both domestically and internationally. In 2013, the export value of fresh fruit was U.S. $ million, slightly below the value exported in 2012, of $ 910 million (Agrostat / Mapa, 2014). Grapes, mangoes and melons are the fastest growing exports in terms of value. As can be seen in the maps of location, banana is the most widespread in the country, while apples and grapes have their more restricted to South and Northeast regions of production.

Unlike the orange area which is relatively significant, these fruits have much more restricted areas, and, as is the case of the grape which are cultivated under irrigation and high technological level. Among the three fruits, bananas are the one with the largest area. The projections of production until 2023/2024, show that the largest expansion will occur in apple production, 2.6% growth per year, followed by grapes, 1.9% per year for the banana, 0.9% per year. A joint production of apples, grapes and bananas should represent 4.0 million tons in 2023/24, representing an increase of 21.7% over 2014.

RESULTS OF REGIONAL OUTLOOK Regional projections were made with the objective of identifying possible trends of selected products in major producing regions, and also show the predictions of a slightly more disaggregated. They are divided into two parts: regional projections of consolidated areas, and areas of recent expansion, located in central Brazil, and part of the Northeast. They are: Rice in Rio Grande do Sul; Corn in Mato Grosso, Paraná, Minas Gerais; Soybean in Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná; Wheat, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul; and sugar cane in São Paulo, Paraná, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais and Goiás. Was included, the area and production projections for the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia, called MATOPIBA. The projections of these regions were also made to some municipalities in these localities, selected according to their importance in the production of grains. Regional projections were only for production and planted area because there aren`t more detailed information such as for the national projections.

82 Regional projections show that Rio Grande do Sul should continue leading the production and expansion of rice in Brazil in the coming years. The production of the state that is in 2013/2014, 65.8% of the national rice production must increase production in the coming years in 25.0% and 5.8% in area. The production of sugar cane must present expansion in all states considered. The greatest expansion of production must occur in Minas Gerais, Goiás and Paraná. In these states sugar cane should expand by reducing area of other crops and also in pastures. Sao Paulo, the leader of national production, should have a production increase of approximately 24.6% over the next decade. To meet this growing area in the state should increase by 26.7% at the end of the period of projections. Projections indicate that only in Minas Gerais production the increase will occur by gains in productivity. In the other the expected growth in production will be done mainly by the increase in area. Mato Grosso should lead in the coming years the growth of corn production. The projected increase for the next decade is 62.2%, while the area is expected to increase 49.2%. The available information indicates that increased corn production should occur primarily through the second corn crop that has achieved amazing results Corn must suffer in the coming years 6.9% decrease in the area in Minas Gerais. It is possible that this should occur due to the expansion of sugar cane in the state and also the soybean. Mato Grosso and Bahia should lead the increase in soybean production in the coming years, increasing by 40.9% and 35.9%, respectively, soybean should increase production, without any reduction of area in any of the analyzed states. The projections show that the wheat production increases should be similar in Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul, about 30.0% over the next 10 years and 26.1% for Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul, respectively. No reduction in wheat area is expected to occur, and the largest increase should occur in Rio Grande do Sul The region formed by the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia, known as MATOPIBA has a different growth dynamics. Hence the interest in presenting the results of the main projections. Its growth has been extraordinary. The latest survey of IBGE (2011) on the municipal GDP shows that these municipalities have pulled the growth of the states where they are located. Its growth has been much higher than the growth of the state 81

83 82 and national average. These four states must reach a grain production of 22.6 million tons over the next 10 years in a planted area of 8.4 million hectares in 2023/2024 but which could reach 10.9 million hectares at its upper bound to the end of the next decade.

85 84 6. SUMMARY OF MAIN RESULTS The most dynamic products in agribusiness should be cotton lint, chicken, cellulose, sugar, soybean, pork, wheat and sugarcane. These products are those that indicate greater potential for production growth in the coming years.

87 86 Grain production should increase from million tonnes in 2013/2014 to million tons in This indicates an increase of 58.9 million tons to the current production in Brazil, and relative values 30.4%. This, however, will require an effort of growth that should consist of infrastructure, investment in research and funding. These estimates are compatible with the expansion of grain production in the last ten years where production grew 69.0 % (Conab, 2014). This result indicates that there is growth potential to achieve the designed values. The production of meat (beef, pork and chicken) will increase by 7.9 million tons. Represents an increase of 30.3% in relation to meat production for 2013/2014. The chicken is the one to present the highest growth, 35.7% over 2014 production. Then pork, which is expected to grow 31.7% and then the beef, 22.8%.

88 The growth of agricultural production in Brazil should continue happening based on productivity. Strong growth of total factor productivity should be maintained, as recent studies have shown, (Fuglie, K., Wang, Sun, Ball, V., 2012 and Gasques, et.al. 2014). These studies show that total factor productivity has grown over 4.0% per year over the past few years. The global average of the last years was 1.84%. The results show a greater increase in agricultural production that increases in area. Between 2014 and 2024 grain production can grow between 30.4% and 52.3%, while the area should expand by between 17,8 and 45.3%. This projection shows a typical example of growth based on productivity. We do not believe that the grain area expands the upper limit of the projection, because the potential productivity is high, especially in products such as soybeans and corn. Estimates made until 2023/2024 are that the total planted area with crops must pass the 70,2 million hectares in 2014 to 82.0 million in An increase of 11.8 million hectares. This area expansion is concentrated in soybean, more than 10.3 million hectares, and cane sugar, more than 2.3 million. The expansion of soybean area and sugarcane should occur by the incorporation of new areas, areas of natural pastures and also for replacing other crops that will give area. Corn must have an expansion area around 1.0 million hectares (15.7 to 16.7 million hectares between 2014 and 2024) and other crops analyzed mostly tend to lose area. The domestic market with exports and productivity gains, should be the main factors for growth in the next decade. In 2023/2024, 42.8% of soybean production should be aimed at the domestic market, and corn, 62.2% of production should be consumed internally. Thus there will be a double pressure on increasing domestic production, due to the growth of the domestic market and exports. Currently, 46.6% of the soybean produced is for domestic consumption, and corn, 69.0%. In meat, there will be strong pressure of the internal market. The expected increase in the production of chicken, 67.2% of output in 2023/2024 will be for the domestic market; of beef produced, 74.8% will go to the internal market, and pork, 83.7% will be for the domestic market. Thus, although Brazil is generally a major exporter of many of these products, domestic consumption is prevalent in the destination of production. 87

91 90 The five complexes shown in the table represent the main food consumed in the world and considered essential by almost all the world s population. Should continue expressive and with a tendency to increase the participation of Brazil in world trade in soybeans, beef and chicken. As noted, the Brazilian soybean should have in 2023/2024 a share in world exports of 43.0%, beef 28.9%, and chicken, 48.9%. Besides its importance in relation to those goods Brazil will maintain leadership in world trade in coffee, and sugar. Finally, the regional projections are indicating that the largest increases in production and area of cane sugar, must occur in the state of Goiás, although this is still a state of small production. But São Paulo as major national producer, also projected high growth of production and area of the product. Mato Grosso should continue to lead the expansion of maize production in the country with higher expected increases in production to 62.2%. The region called MATOPIBA, to be situated in the Brazilian states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia, should present sharp increase in grain production as well as its area must also present significant increase. Projections indicate this region is expected to produce around 22.6 million tons of grain in 2024 (up 21.4%) and an area planted with grains between 8.4 and 10.9 million hectares at the end of the period of the projections.

95 94 Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento - Assessoria de Gestão Estratégica Annex 1 - Methodological Note ATTACHMENT 1 Methodological Note 1. Introduction The study of the national agribusiness projections consists on the analysis of historical series with the use of statistical techniques for analysis of time series classified as Exponential Smoothing, Box and Jenkins (ARIMA) and State-Space. Below, there is a brief description of the models, methods and some concepts which were used in this study. As general reference it is suggested Morettin and Toloi, 2004). Other specific references are given throughout the text. 1.1 Stationary Process: A process is stationary (weakly) when its mean and its variance are constant through the time and when the value of the co-variance between two periods of time depends only on the difference between the two periods of time, and not on the time itself where the covariance is calculated. We have: Mean: E(Z t ) = µ ; Variance: VAR (Z t ) = E(Z t µ) 2 = σ 2 Covariance: ψκ = E[(Z t µ)(z t+κ µ) ] Where ψκ, is the covariance between the values of Z t and Z t+κ that is, between two values of the time series separated by κ periods. 1.2 Purely Random Process or White Noise: A process (e t ) is purely random when its mean is zero, its variance is σ 2 and the variables e t are not correlated. 1.3 Integrated Process: If a time series (non-stationary) has to be differenced d times to become stationary, it is said that this series is integrated of order d. An integrated time series Z t of order d is denoted as: Z t ~ I(d). 2. Exponential Smoothing Models The Double Exponential Smoothing or Linear Smoothing is adequate to time series Z t which evolve showing linear trend for which the linear and angular coefficients can also vary in time. It is possible to demonstrate that optimal representations of the exponential smoothing models are obtained from the ARIMA models and of State-Space models described below. In the double exponential smoothing approach (the only one we are dealing here) the linear coefficient µ t (level) of the series in period t and its growth rate β t Projections of Agribusiness Brazil 2013/2014 a 2023/

96 95 Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento - Assessoria de Gestão Estratégica in the same period are given by the smoothing equations (see Bowerman, O Connel and Koehler, 2005) µ = αz + (1 α )( µ + β ) t t t t 1 ( ) β = γ µ µ + (1 γ) β t t t 1 t 1 where α and γ are constants in the interval (0,1) and t=1,2,...,n. The predictor of the series in period N + τ based on period N is given by ZˆN = τ µ + + N τβ. N The exponential smoothing, simple, double (discussed here) or even triple can be obtained from PROC FORECAST (SAS, 2010), but the standard errors of the predictors may also be computed from state-space methods. 3. ARIMA Models The Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model fits data generated by a univariate time series, transformed to stationarity through calculations of differences, using a class of models known as autoregressive processes, moving average processes or mixed autoregressive-moving average processes 3.1. Autoregressive Process (AR) Let Z t be a stationary time series. If we model Z t as (Z t - µ) = α1(z t -1 - µ) + e t, where µ is the mean of Z t and e t is a white noise, we say that Z t follows an autoregressive process of first order, or AR(1). In this case, the value of Z t in period t depends on its value in the previous period and on a random term; the values of Z t are expressed as deviations of its mean value. So, this model says that the forecasted value of Z t in period t is simply a proportion (= α 1) of its value in the period (t-1) plus a random shock in period t. Stationarity is achieved imposing α 1 < 1. In general, it is possible to have: (Z t - µ) = α1(z t -1 - µ) + α2(z t -2 - µ) α p (Z t -p - µ) + e t In this case Z t follows an autoregressive process of order p, or AR(p) if the coefficients satisfy appropriate conditions Moving Average Process (MA) α i Projections of Agribusiness Brazil 2013/2014 a 2023/

97 96 Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento - Assessoria de Gestão Estratégica Let Z t be a stationary time series. If we model Z t as Z = µ + e βe t t t 1 Where µ and β are constants with β < 1, and the error term e t is a white noise, it is said that the time series defines the MA(1) - moving average process of order 1. In general, if the time series satisfies Z = µ + e β e β e L β e t t 1 t 1 2 t 2 q t q where the coefficients βi satisfy additional conditions of invertibility, it is said that Z t follows a moving average process of order q, or MA(q). In summary a moving average process is a linear combination of terms of a white noise process Autoregressive Moving Average Process (ARMA) If a stationary time series (Z t ) has characteristics of AR with errors following a process MA, it will be an ARMA process. The series Z t will follow an ARMA process (1,1), for example, if it can be represented by Z = µ + αz + e βe t t 1 t t 1 In general, for an ARMA process (p,q) there will be p autoregressive terms and q moving average terms Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Process (ARIMA) If a time series is not stationary, but when differenced d times it becomes stationary, and it is an AR with errors MA, we say that the time series is an ARIMA (p, d, q), that is, an integrated autoregressive-moving averages time series, where p denotes the number of autoregressive terms, d is the number of times that we must difference the series to make it stationary, and q, is the number of moving average terms. It is important to emphasize ARMA models can be fit only to stationary and invertible time series. These properties are achieved through differencing. This approach was proposed by Box and Jenkins (1976). The fit and computation of forecasts of a given time series with the use of Box and Jenkins techniques were performed here using PROC ARIMA (SAS, 2010) Deterministic Trends with ARMA Errors In one instance (consumption of cellulose) a satisfactory model was not possible with the use of integrated models. In this case it was used the regression model Zt=F(t)+Ut Projections of Agribusiness Brazil 2013/2014 a 2023/

98 97 Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento - Assessoria de Gestão Estratégica where Ut is an ARMA error and F(t) a linear function in time. The PROC ARIMA (SAS, 2010) produces statistics for these models using generalized least squares. 4. State-Space Models The state-space model is a statistical model for a multivariate time series. It represents the multivariate time series through auxiliary variables, some of which are not observable directly. These auxiliary variables are denominated state-space variables. The state-space vector summarizes all the information of values from the present and from the past on the relevant time series for the prediction of future values for the series. The observed time series are expressed as linear combination of the state variables. The statespace model is called a Markovian representation or canonical representation of a multivariate time series. Let Z t be a q dimensional time series. Its representation in state-space, relate the observations vector Z t to the state vector X t, of dimension k, through the linear system Zt = AX t t + dt + Sε (observation equation), t t X = GX + c + Rη (state or system equation) t t t 1 t t t where t=1,..., N ; Α t is the matrix of the system of order (q x k); ε t is the noise vector of the observation of order (q x 1), not correlated in time, with mean vector zero and matrix of variance W of order (q x q), ; G t t is the transition matrix of order (k x k) ; η t is a noise vector not correlated in time, of order (k x 1), with mean vector zero and matrix of variance order (k x k); d t has order (q x 1) ; c t has order (k x 1); R t has order (k x k). Q t of In the state-space models it is supposed additionally that the initial state X 0 has mean µ 0 and matrix of variance Σ 0; the noise vectors ε t and η t are not correlated with each other and not correlated with the initial state, that is, E(ε t η s ) = 0, every t, s= 1,...,N; and E(ε t X 0 ) = 0 and E(η t X 0 ) = 0, t= 1,...,N; It is said that the state-space model is Gaussian when the noise vectors are normally distributed. The matrixes Α t and G t are non-stochastic; in this way if there is any variation in time it will be pre-determined. Projections of Agribusiness Brazil 2013/2014 a 2023/

99 98 Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento - Assessoria de Gestão Estratégica In this work it was used a particular form of the general representation described above, which is the stationary representation described in SOUZA, et al, 2006 and Brocklebank and Dickey, It is important to notice here that every ARMA process has a state-space representation. The parameters of the state-space representation are estimated by maximum likelihood supposing that the residual shocks vector are normally (multivariate) distributed. The fit and forecasts of time series performed via state-space models were performed using PROC STATESPACE (SAS, 2010). 5. AIC and SBC Information Criterion The information criteria are very useful to assist in choosing the best model among those which are potentially adequate. These criteria consider not only the quality of the fit but also penalize the inclusion of extra parameters. Therefore, a model with more parameters can have a better fit, however not necessarily it will be preferable in terms of the information criterion. It is considered the best model by the information criteria the one which presents the lowest values of AIC or SBC. The information criterions known as Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and the Schwartz Bayesian Criterion (SBC) can be described as follows: AIC = T ln (estimator of maximum verisimilitude) + 2n, SBC = T ln (estimator of maximum verisimilitude) + n ln(t) Where, T is the number of observations used in the computations and n the number of parameters estimated. It is interesting to highlight that these information criteria analyzed individually do not have any meaning considering only one model. Comparison of alternative models (or competing) is to be done in the same sampling period, in other words, with the same quantity of information. In this work the use of the information criteria was used in the choice of the order of some ARMA models and restricted to the Akaike criterion in the context of the use of the state-space modeling.
