2 Brazil s potential is huge 2

3 The Soy Complex in Brazil Second largest world producer and processor of soybeans Second largest world exporter of soybeans. soymeal and soy oil One of Brazil s main sources of foreign currency (about 10% of the country s total exports) Over producers The industry generates a total of approximately 1.4 million jobs It promotes sustainable development and moves wealth to the Country s inlands Products of the soy complex can be used to produce meat. oil for human and industrial consumption. biodiesel and chemicals 3

38 Important causes of the Amazon Biome Deforestation 1. Institutional weaknesses of federal and public bodies 2. Roads that were opened and other infrastructure works without appropriate policies for territorial order and environmental management 3. Absence of public policies to encorage forest enhancement and better use of the areas that are already deforestated 4. Landgrab of public lands 5.

49 Roundtable on Responsible Soy What it is An international (?) forum to promote the responsible production and commercialization of soy Multistakeholder process Objectives To develop and promote a standard (principles and criteria) for responsible soybean production To promote dialogue between the economic and social & environmental points of view 49

50 Zero Tolerance in relation to Degrading Work Conditions The industry signed the National Agreement to Erradicate Labor analogous to Slave Labor. Promoted by the Instituto Ethos and by the International Labor Organization (ILO) Zero Tolerance Policy includes clause that provides for the termination of soy contracts if degrading labor conditions are determined 50

51 The Industry supported ARES creation Mission statement: Knowlege Dialogue Communication 51

52 How to improve environmental preservation? Current Production Model in the Middle West Production to export in natura? (Freight costs) Adding value to bean/grain production (soybeans and corn) in the Cerrado by producing meat (birds and pork) to Integrated Production Model export Sustainability Producing to export Reduces the pressure on new areas for agriculture Makes it possible to rotate cultures Reduces monoculture The success of this model depends on the Reduces pest propagation (Asiatic blight) opening of an international market for meats Reduces the use of agrochemicals Creates income for small and large rural producers Resources to preserve the environment (Legal Reservesl) Makes the existence of small Cerrado producers possible 52

64 Conclusions: 1) Prospects for oilseeds production is very favourable to the soy complex 2) Probable reduction of protectionist practices in the meat market and oil price increases generate new opportunities for the soy complex 3) Brazilian soybean production will continue to be competitive and may contribute to meet the world demand increase. 64
