41 FINAL COMMENTS

42 FINAL COMMENTS Agribusiness is around 24% of the Brazilian Economy GDP, of which 31% is Family and 69% is Non-Family The Family Agribusiness is more directed to the production of goods to final consumption with a lesser degree of industrialization than the Non- Family Agribusiness The Family Agriculture can found in the spectrum from the subsistence level to the high tech level

43 FINAL COMMENTS The Southeast region in Brazil is responsible for 42% of the Brazilian Agribusiness GDP The Central West region, despite its high tech agriculture, has a share of only 9.8% of the Brazilian Agribusiness GDP and 16.3% of the Brazilian Agriculture GDP Given de importance o Agriculture and Agribusiness for the Brazilian economy, environment and social questions should and must be taken into consideration.
