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

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 2014. 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.

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 2014. The prices for these products in 2014 are higher than the historical rates and also the prices of 2013.

Position at 17/04/2014 Brazil expects a record grains harvest in 2014, estimated at 193.6 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 1994. Between 1994 and today, as we know, entered a phase of economic stabilization and this allowed a reduction of uncertainty in variables.

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.

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 193.6 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.

This range of variation is a safety for the occurrence of changes over which one has or little control such as climate change droughts and rains. Projections for 2023/2024 are a crop around 252.4 million tonnes, representing an increase of 30.4% over the current crop. At the upper end projection indicates a production of up to 294.8 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 %.

14 b. Cotton lint Cotton production is concentrated in the states of Mato Grosso, Goiás and Bahia, which account for in 2013/14 90.7% 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%.

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

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.

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

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).

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 180 000 and 300 000 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

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 103.1 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

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 103.0 million tons, sufficient to meet the demand in 2024. 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

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.

The projection of soybeans for 2023/24 is 117.8 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 05.19.14). 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

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

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.

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.

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 )

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 2003-2014 (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 2013. U.S., Germany, Japan and Italy imported 62.7% of the volume exported by Brazil in 2013. 47

The production is expected to grow at an annual rate between 2.6% and 3.4%. This corresponds to a production of 44.7 billion liters of raw milk at the end of the period of the projections, 29.8% higher than the production year 2013/14.

49 According to technicians of Embrapa Dairy Cattle, the projected growth rates for production should be slightly above the projected in this report. According to them the milk production in Brazil rose more than 4.0% per year in recent years.

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 2024. 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. Investments have not been made in new units, several production units have paralyzed its activities over the past 3 seasons and many companies are indebted (Mapa / Agroenergia, 2014).
