  5. Agribusiness in Brazil is driven by innovation Commercialpartners Around 79% of the Brazilian food production is consumed domestically and 21% is shipped to over 212 foreign markets Product Production Exports 1st 1st 1st 2nd 2nd 3rd 3rd 3rd 1st 1st 1st 1st 1st 1st 1st 4th Sugar Orange juice Coffee Beef Soybean Tobacco Broiler Corn Exports In 2010 Brazil exported more than 1500 types of agricultural products to foreign markets Source: SPA/MAPA(AgriculturaBrasileiraemNúmeros)

  6. Evolution of Agricultural Systems in Brazil Grain Production and CultivatedArea • 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 system´s efficiency, additional 58 million ha would have been necessary to reach today´s production.

  36. Evolution of Agriculture in Brazil Challenges and Opportunities Labex Korea

  37. Challenges and Opportunities 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 …

  38. Challenges and Opportunities 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;

  44. Labex Korea – Future Collaboration • Sustainable agriculture • Plant development and protection by using agro-microorganismssuch as “plant growth promotion rhizobacteria (PGPR)”. • Develpoment of Agricultural Biodiversity to cope with Climate Change • Development of genetic resouces in horticultural crops (fruits and vegetables) adapted to new-climatic condictions of subtropical or tropical environments. • Exploring the need for specific measures for access and benefit sharing of livestock genetic resources for food and Agriculture. • Livestock genetic conservation and characterization.

  45. Labex Korea – Future Collaboration Medicinal and Aromatics Plants and Phytochemistry. Renewable Energy and by-products produced from biomass Biotechnology using in Animal Production Protected Production System and Automation Reduction of greenhouse gases emission in the livestock industries Advanced Methodology for laboratory analysis Isolating bioactive compounds from plant sources

  46. Labex Korea – Agenda of Priorities COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION SHARING Labex Korea maintains a web page as means of disseminating information, sharing knowledge and views on issues important for the cooperation. The link http://labexkorea.wordpress.com/ is listed in the webpage's of RDA and Embrapa and serve as source of information on Labex for both organizations and for other users.
