3 Agenda Challenges of the New Ag Economy and Consequences for the Crop Science Industry Brazilian agriculture Logistical issues Agricultural Facts and Figures: Soybean Corn Sugar cane (sugar and ethanol) Cotton Coffee

4 Challenges in the New Ag Economy Growing world population increasing food & energy demand decreasing farmland per capita Need for alternative energy feedstocks increasing demand for renewable energy and biofuel Growing wealth Climate change increasing meat consumption and need for feed decreasing stocks to use Acreage competition between food, feed, bio-energy crops and fiber Price increase of crop commodities yield losses through adverse weather conditions need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO 2

5 Food Supply: A Global Challenge Year World population (billion) Arable land & permanent crops (billion hectares) Farmland per person (hectares) With limited arable land and a continuously growing world population, the available farmland per capita is expected to further decrease dramatically Source: United Nations

10 Challenges for the Crop Science Industry Limited arable land coupled with rising demand Safeguard and increase yields from constant land area better resource management (targeted use of crop protection, irrigation technology and fertilizers) increase yields through innovative technologies (hybridization, plant biotechnology) Expand agricultural production in marginal areas new crops with greater tolerance of drought and extreme temperatures Climate change Increase tolerance of plants to climatic variability develop new varieties using state-of-the-art technologies improve plant health and nutrient uptake Research and innovation are the key to mastering the challenges of the New Ag Economy

22 Soybean

23 Facts on Brazilian Soybean Logistic issues: High transportation costs from farm to harbor due to precarious roads. Part of the production profit is lost by transportation. Bio fuel: From Jan on, adding 2% of vegetable oil in diesel has become obligatory. This requirement, will raise to 5% by 2012, which consequently, will lead to higher demand for soybean oil. Asian countries are demanding more soybean (by 5% / year), due to population growth and purchasing power (cheaper protein source) World wide industrial consumption is increasing by 20% / year demanding more production and keeping the commodity price high Exchange rate is not favorable for the Brazilian Real (R$) x Dollar (US$), but the commodity price is historically excellent (12.90 US$/bushel)

27 Corn

28 Facts on Brazilian Corn 13 Million ton or (24%) is designated for animal feed In average, Brazilian productivity is Kg/ha The entire yield grew from 51 to 54 Million Ton within last two years. Corn production is designated majority to supply internal market, instead of exportation. However, the exportation has increased on last two years, achieving 7 Million Ton. Two harvests are done: Main harvest from September until January and the second harvest from February until May/June Input and technology are being adopted in latest seasons.

44 Coffee

45 Facts on Brazilian coffee yield Manual harvest is getting more and more difficult due to high costs and labor laws requirements. Otherwise, mechanic harvest is taking place in medium and large farms Domestic consumers are willing for coffee quality improvement (e.g. Global Coffee Shop chains like Starbucks) Strong requirements to produce Certified coffee in order to attend the European and Asian market (traceability by certification agencies) Number of organic coffee producers are increasing as a structured niche market serving the needs of selected consumers, with high value added coffee

48 Facts on Brazilian Livestock Brazilian livestock exportation is increasing due to meat quality improvement Internal purchasing power has been increased within Brazilian population conducting to more meat consumption Swine and chicken are mainly produced in cooperation with slaughterhouse by small farmers and became a profitable alternative of income Milk production in 2007 was 8,77 million litters. 4,4 million litters was for crude consumption and 4,37 million litters for industry (butter, yogurt, powder )

52 Outlooks According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the Brazilian current land utilization takes 78 million ha and still have 300 million ha arable area as potential Apart from the natural resources (favorable weather, water, soil and land to be explored), there is an auspicious scenario in agribusiness deals to next coming years In short-term, Brazil should get benefits due to commodities prices elevation within the international trade market, specially coffee, sugar and soybean. Within last two decades, technology evolution drove to yield improvement, representing one of the successful agriculture entrepreneur history After Gov. credit subsidies ceased, farmers had to invest in professional management, improve crop technology and be open to the international market
