Presentation Outline Brazilian Agricultural Zoning Agrometeorological operational systems in Brazil – regional and national Effects of climate change (IPCC) in Brazilian Agricultural Zoning

Expert Meeting on Weather, Climate and Farmers Geneva, November 15-18, 2004 Agricultural Zoning Agribusiness GDP in 2003: US$ 165 billion (30% GDP - US$ 500 billion) Agribusiness Exportations: US$ 30 billion (40%) 30% of jobs Grain production in 2003: 122 millions tons Program coordinated by the Department of Agriculture and EMBRAPA (National Institute for Agricultural Research) since 1995 Federal Farm Credit Policy US$ 8 billion (US$ 2.5 billion for small farmers)

Expert Meeting on Weather, Climate and Farmers Geneva, November 15-18, 2004 Main Objective Decrease the climate risks dry spells during flowering and grain-filling (60%) excessive rain during the harvest period (30%) Product Planting Calendars Crops: Corn, Soybean, Beans, Rice (Wheat, Sorghum, Fruits, Coffee) Periods: Dekad (10 days), Oct to Dec (Jan to Dec) Counties / Municipal districts Macro-regions: Central, Southeast and South (Northeast) Risk: less than or equal to 20%

Expert Meeting on Weather, Climate and Farmers Geneva, November 15-18, 2004 Methodology Simulation of cumulative water balance for different soil types, planting dates, cycle lengths, ground stations Decision criteria / Risk Analysis: a) WRSI during reproductive stage Threshold Value (80% of all simulated years) WRSI: Water Requirement Satisfaction Index WRSI = actual / maximum evapotranspiration b) Excessive rain during harvest 50mm accumulated in 3 days of a 5-days period

Results Organization of federal farm credit policy and insurance Decrease of agricultural losses due to climate events (Insurance debt = US$ 637 million accumulated in 5 years) Even self-financed farmers are using the zoning Increase: productivity, production and use of technology Losses of US$ 33 millions in 2002: farmers growing corn during fall and winter in unsuitable (high risk) areas Frauds decrease and inhibition Availability of data for agricultural planning Demand for new crops, regions and periods
30
Expert Meeting on Weather, Climate and Farmers Geneva, November 15-18, 2004 Questions What can happen to agricultural zoning in next decades ? Will the suitable areas change in the case of new climate conditions ? (decrease ?, increase ?, migrate ?) Methodology Prepare new zonings simulating different climate conditions according to IPCC report (2001) Climate scenarios: Current, Increase of 1°C, 3°C and 5.8°C in Temperature and Increase of 15% in precipitation
31
Expert Meeting on Weather, Climate and Farmers Geneva, November 15-18, 2004 Climate Conditions Suitable for Coffee Production Average Annual Temperature: 18°C to 22°C (up to 23°C) Annual Water Deficit: 0mm to 100mm (up to 150mm) Absolute Minimum Temperature: > 1°C (Frost Risk)
