Food Security and Trade in the Asia-Pacific ifi & LAC Region Brazil's Role in Global Food Security and Trade Marcos S. Jank Agribusiness and bioenergy leading expert Former CEO of the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA) IPC Member Washington DC, May 17 th, 2012
A CHALLENGING SCENARIO World population to reach 9.3 billion people by 2050 and consumption to double due to increase in income per capita. Middle class consumers to increase by 3 billion people by 2030 177% increase in commodity prices since the turn of the century (adjusted for inflation). Minerals and oil scarcity 100% increase in the average cost of bringing a new oil well online over the past decade. Agricultural sector to produce food and inputs for textiles, bioenergy and biochemicals in a sustainable way.

THE RECENT SUCCESS OF BRAZILIAN AGRIBUSINESS: TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS AND MORE Natural Resources: Land: cheap and available land, large scale farms Water availability Suitable climate Technology: Continuous adoption of new tropical technologies, including biotech No-till agriculture 25 million ha (combined with crop rotation) Double cropping (2 crops in the same year) Crop-livestock integration Professional and Innovative Management: 150,000 students in agrarian sciences Average farmer age 42 (USA: 60 and EU: 70) Enhancement of managerial capabilities Modern marketing capabilities (ex.: future and derivative markets) Others: Coordination of agri-food chains: integration ti and contracts t Consolidated practices for mitigation of GHG emissions (ex: biofuels, bioelectricity, elimination of biomass burnings, etc.)
CHALLENGES FOR BRAZILIAN AGRIBUSINESS Logistics saturated) Custo Brasil Lack of good transport system (16% of roads are paved) High transportation costs and dependence on road transportation (74%) Inefficiency of ports, especially older ones (the largest ports are saturated) Poor infrastructure Regulatory Weak institutions Risks Unstable rules Legal uncertainty due to unstable legislation over time Lack of clear rules on land use (acquisition by foreign capital), property rights, the environment (reform of the Forest Code), and labor regulations (RN 31) Rising trade and investment protectionism impacting supply chains Other challenges Expanding while preserving Exchange rate: overvaluation and high volatility Agricultural protectionism around the world: tariffs, subsidies Lack of suitable financing and insurance mechanisms New technological breakthroughs Improved organizational structures to combine agricultural expansion and environmental conservation
CONCLUDING REMARKS Deep structural changes are coming due to strong population growth, higher per capita income and intense urbanization process in developing countries, and especially in SE Asia. Abundant natural resources and good technology performances are necessary conditions but not sufficient to ensure the future food security of the most dynamic regions. The equation is much more complex. It is fundamental to create international/regional integrated and efficient value chains. Identifying opportunities and removing potential bottlenecks require a special attention on: How countries are inserted into the global agribusiness value chains Trade policies that reduce agri-food protectionism Who are the main players involved in each of the supply chains Efficiency of land and maritime logistics (domestic and international) Availability of modern trade and project finance instruments Potential technology improvement and technology transfer How (natural) resources can be used sustainably
