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)

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.

Evolution of Agriculture in Brazil International Cooperation Labex Korea

International Cooperation is Key to Embrapa The success of Brazilian tropical agriculture motivates countries with similar problems and challenges to seek information and partnership with Embrapa. Today Embrapa has: 78 bi-lateral agreements with 89 institutions in 56 countries; Multilateral Agreements with 20 International Organizations; At project level, there are numerous agreements involving several countries, organizations and research networks. Labex Korea

International Cooperation at Embrapa • Multiple Strategies • Multilateral Cooperation • Technology Transfer Offices • Virtual Laboratories Abroad- Labex • Public-Private Cooperation Labex Korea

International Cooperation at Embrapa Technology Transfer Offices Embrapa Latin America Technology transfer office in Caracas, Venezuela, since May 2008 11 Agreements and ongoing projects in Latin American countries Embrapa Americas opened in 2010 in Central America - Panama Embrapa Africa Technology transfer office in Accra, Ghana since November 2006 11 agreements and ongoing projects in several African Countries 8 agreements and projects being negotiated

Labex– cooperation in cutting-edge agricultural R&D Embrapa has developed more than a decade ago the concept of “Virtual Laboratories Abroad” – Labex, as means of increasing its scientific and technological ties with advanced research organizations around the world. Labex USA 1998 Labex Europe 2002 Labex Korea 2009 Labex China 2012 Labex Japan 2012 Labex Korea 2009

The Embrapa Labex Program “Labex Mission and Objectives” To bring the international dimension to the Embrapa network • Monitoring trends in S&T and opportunities of cooperation • Promoting collaborative projects in strategic areas • Facilitating exchanges of scientists • Identifying training opportunities • Promoting technical meetings and scientific exchange • Follow-up on joint research projects

Evolution of Agriculture in Brazil Challenges and Opportunities Labex Korea

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 …

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;
