1. EMBRAPA: CONQUERING TROPICAL AGRICULTURE KNOWLEDGE IN BRAZIL Filipe Teixeira Business Manager of Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation) Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply APEX – Brazil Tech

2. Brazilian Tropical Agriculture: before 1970's Low Ag Production (few items) Low Productivity Yield Shortages, Food Supply Crisis Expensive Food, Inflation, Poverty Inadequate Ag Public Policies Lack of Specific Knowledge about Tropical Agriculture Institutional void (ag research, education, markets, midia and governmental agencies, etc) THE TASK: TO MOVE FROM AGRICULTURE APPLIED TO THE TROPICS TO TROPICAL AGRICULTURE

3. What was done The needed public policies The needed institutional building The needed tropical knowledge

4. AG CREDIT - LAND, TECHNOLOGY ( SEED, FERTILIZERS, AGROCHEMICALS, MACHINERY, EQUIPMENTS, IRRIGATION) AG MARKET - MINIMUM AG PRICES FOOD REGULATORY STOCKS AG RISK INSURANCE INFRA-STRUCTURE: ROADS, STORAGE FACILITIES, ETC AG RESEARCH & EDUCATION & EXTENSION The needed public policies

5. The Ag Graduation Net The Ag Research Network The organization of Ag Production Chains The needed institutional building The modern Tropical Agri-industry The new ways of marketing (trading companies, commodities future exchange, etc.)

6. MissionThe Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation's mission is to provide feasible solutions for the sustainable development of Brazilian agribusiness through knowledge and technology generation and transfer.
