1 4 th Road Show Brazilian Soy Sustainability Fábio Trigueirinho Secretary ABIOVE Brazilian Vegetable Oil Industries Association

2 ABOUT ABIOVE ABIOVE, the Brazilian Vegetable Oil Industries Association, has 13 members companies who are responsible for approximately 60 percent of Brazil's soybean processing and exporting volume. Brazil is responsible for some 32 percent of the world's soybean production, with 113,8 million tonnes in the 2017 crop. The soybean complex is one of the main items in the country's Trade Balance. In 2016 exports reached US$ 26 billion. Soybean production brings social development to rural areas. Europe is a major buyer of Brazilian soy protein (+13 million ton in 2016).

11 MORATORIUM - PUBLIC RECOGNITION The Soy Moratorium and negotiations with the meat sector are programmes that could serve as models for other countries. Kumi Naidoo, Greenpeace Global Executive Director The soy industry is setting the example for respecting the forest and the consumers. Paulo Adário, Greenpeace Diretor We have delivered extraordinary results. Frederico Machado, WWF Brasil - GTS member The European Soy Customer Group - AHOLD, ASDA, Carrefour, Co-operative, Kraft, Marks & Spencer, McDonald s, Nutreco, Ritter-Sport, Sainsbury s, Waitrose and Wal-Mart - applauds another year of positive progress by the Soy Task Force.

12 SOY MORATORIUM - 10 YEAR RESULTS Monitoring soybean in the Amazon Biome - transparency Contribution to sensibilize farmers to sustainability issues and Government to improve environmental governance.

16 3) CERRADO BIOME ROAD MAP Challenge: To reconcile food production with protection of biodiversity Cerrado policy assumptions: - Universal application to the soy market (all players) - Participation and consent by rural producers - Simple system, workable and not burdensome - Inclusion of other production chains - Economic incentives for conservation of the forests - Preservation of high-value areas (river basin headwaters, landscapes)

17 CERRADO TASK FORCE PRIORITY DISCUSSIONS 1. Mapping of soy acreage. 2. Development of studies on the Cerrado s socio-economic characteristics. 3. Supporting rural producer registration with SICAR (National System for Rural Environmental Registration). 4. Use of CAR (Rural Environmental Registration) as a purchase criterion. 5. Supporting the states in their analysis and validation of CAR

18 CERRADO TASK FORCE PRIORITY DISCUSSIONS 6. Supporting rural producers regarding regulations, implementation and monitoring of PRA (Environmental Regularization Program) 7. Supporting the Biome s Ecologic-Economic Zoning 8. Development of a Go/No-Go Zone tool 9. Supporting compensation and economic incentives for producers who cease to deforest, producing only in areas already cleared. 10. Articulation with other production sectors: input industries, financial sector, meat chain, charcoal plants, state governments, social movements, associations and employer associations

21 CERRADO FUND - PAYMENTS TO PRODUCERS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES Land inventories in the Cerrado Biome with high suitability for soy expansion comprise 15.5 million hectares (59,846 square miles) of native vegetation. Producers could waive their rights to convert this area to agriculture through payment for environmental services Cerrado Fund (15.5 million hectares) Compensation of Areas (R$ ) R$3.1 billion Soy Production (R$ ) R$5.02 billion 886 million 1.43 billion Source:

22 CONCLUSIONS: The economic complementarity of Brazil and Europe should be taken advantage of, to their mutual benefit. Conformity with the Brazil Forest Code means reconcile food production with environmental conservation. Soja Plus Program is an important vehicle to support the full implementation of the Forest Code and labor rules. We invite European Consumers to come to Brazil, as well as sponsor Soja Plus Program (Shared reponsibilities)
