Presentation Outline

   Drivers

 • The Game Changes for Brazil


 • Making it Happen in Africa



 • The Elephant in the Room for Both


                                  www.fanrpan.org
Attributes and Drivers of the Tropical Food Giant
1.       Environment Matters (climate, land and water):
     •      30% of 8.51m ha classified as agricultural land.
     •      200 m ha dedicated to pastures & 25m ha dedicated for crops.
     •      More spare land than any other country (400m).
     •      975mm rain per year for most farm lands.
     •      Brazil has as much renewable water as the whole of Asia.
     •      Suitable climate for agriculture.

•        R4D (EMBRAPA, EMBRAPA, EMBRAPA)
     •      Public company setup in 1973.
     •      Mauro Lopes’ ask “government to give US$20 to EMBRAPA for every US$50 it
            saved by cutting subsidies”.
     •      From breeding new seeds and cattle through to nanotechnology labs producing
            wound dressings.

•        Public / Private Partnerships

•        Systematic Inclusive Approach
                                                                              www.fanrpan.org
The Game Changes for Brazil
1. Reclamation of the CERRADO:
   •   Recommended liming of soils 14 – 16m tons per year in the 1990s to
       25m tons by 2004 (5tons of lime per hectare).
   •   Bread variety of rhizobum bacteria to help fix nitrogen in legumes and
       reduce fertilizer quantities.


2. Bold leadership (political will, policy & institutions)
   •   1990 scaling down of expenditures on price support and subsidize
       credit
   •   Market deregulation for wheat, sugar cane and coffee
   •   Trade liberation on imports and exports
   •   Producer support is 3% of the value of gross farm receipts
   •   Preferential credits to the agricultural sector
   •   Commodity loans and intervention purchases by government without
       distorting the market
                                                                    www.fanrpan.org
The Game Changers for Brazil
3. Consistent and Long-term Investment in Research e.g.
   –        Improvement of brachiaria grass feed to 25 tons per hectare over 30
            years
        •      Imported brachiaria from Africa and invested on improving the productivity
        •      Reduced birth to slaughter duration for beef steers from 4 years to 2 years
        •      Now working on GM brachiaria

   b)       Turned soya beans into a tropical crop
        •      Created soya that is tolerant to acid soils
        •      Speeded up plant growing period, cutting 8 to 5 weeks of the growth cycle
        •      Allowing 2 corps per year

   c)       Pioneered no-till agriculture
        •      No-till was 2% of grains in 1990 today it is over 50%

   –        Forest, agriculture and livestock integration
   –        Imported cattle form Asia
                                                                               www.fanrpan.org
Making it Happen in Africa
     1. Making farmlands suitable for farming
        (CAADP Pillar 1):
     • Assessing and mapping soil fertility
     • Greening the soil
     • Investing in irrigation infrastructure to help adapt to a
       changing climate
     • Promoting on farm water harvesting and storage
       technologies

     2. Research for Development (CAADP Pillar 4):
     • Adapt and then adopt suitable technologies
     • Appropriate match of crops to the climate, farm
       environment and culture for now and the future
     • Present technology packages and not technology bullets



                                                      www.fanrpan.org
Making it Happen in Africa
3. Policy, People and Institutions
•Improved fit between technology and the user
•Evidence based policies
•Social protection for the vulnerable
•Training to modernize agriculture
•Affordable finance packages
•Targeted subsidies
•Engaging CSO and social movements

4. Public / Private Partnerships
•Engagement of private sector in Africa is weak
•Innovative models and conducive policy environment
•Win-win solutions
•Harmonized policies Africa-wide to help expand the market

16.Systems Approach for Modernizing Agriculture Recognizing:
•Family farms ( subsistence); Commercial ; Large-scale

                                                               www.fanrpan.org
The Elephant In The Room
MEGA CHALLENGES FOR BRAZIL & AFRICA

1. Rural Poverty

2. Poor Infrastructure
(Farm To Market, Irrigation)

3. Illiteracy Hindering
Development / Rural Diversification

4. Scaling Up Success Stories

5. Conserve the Environment

                                              9
                                      www.fanrpan.org
Africa can and should adopt and adapt from Brazil




           THANK YOU!

Presentation by Dr Lindiwe Majele Sibanda, FANRPAN CEO policy@fanrpan.org Brasilia, Brazil May 17-18th, 2012 2 www.fanrpan.org
  • 3. Presentation Outline • The Tropical Food Giant: Attributes and Drivers • The Game Changes for Brazil • Making it Happen in Africa • The Elephant in the Room for Both www.fanrpan.org
  • 4. Attributes and Drivers of the Tropical Food Giant 1. Environment Matters (climate, land and water): • 30% of 8.51m ha classified as agricultural land. • 200 m ha dedicated to pastures & 25m ha dedicated for crops. • More spare land than any other country (400m). • 975mm rain per year for most farm lands. • Brazil has as much renewable water as the whole of Asia. • Suitable climate for agriculture. • R4D (EMBRAPA, EMBRAPA, EMBRAPA) • Public company setup in 1973. • Mauro Lopes’ ask “government to give US$20 to EMBRAPA for every US$50 it saved by cutting subsidies”. • From breeding new seeds and cattle through to nanotechnology labs producing wound dressings. • Public / Private Partnerships • Systematic Inclusive Approach www.fanrpan.org
  • 5. The Game Changes for Brazil 1. Reclamation of the CERRADO: • Recommended liming of soils 14 – 16m tons per year in the 1990s to 25m tons by 2004 (5tons of lime per hectare). • Bread variety of rhizobum bacteria to help fix nitrogen in legumes and reduce fertilizer quantities. 2. Bold leadership (political will, policy & institutions) • 1990 scaling down of expenditures on price support and subsidize credit • Market deregulation for wheat, sugar cane and coffee • Trade liberation on imports and exports • Producer support is 3% of the value of gross farm receipts • Preferential credits to the agricultural sector • Commodity loans and intervention purchases by government without distorting the market www.fanrpan.org
  • 6. The Game Changers for Brazil 3. Consistent and Long-term Investment in Research e.g. – Improvement of brachiaria grass feed to 25 tons per hectare over 30 years • Imported brachiaria from Africa and invested on improving the productivity • Reduced birth to slaughter duration for beef steers from 4 years to 2 years • Now working on GM brachiaria b) Turned soya beans into a tropical crop • Created soya that is tolerant to acid soils • Speeded up plant growing period, cutting 8 to 5 weeks of the growth cycle • Allowing 2 corps per year c) Pioneered no-till agriculture • No-till was 2% of grains in 1990 today it is over 50% – Forest, agriculture and livestock integration – Imported cattle form Asia www.fanrpan.org
  • 7. Making it Happen in Africa 1. Making farmlands suitable for farming (CAADP Pillar 1): • Assessing and mapping soil fertility • Greening the soil • Investing in irrigation infrastructure to help adapt to a changing climate • Promoting on farm water harvesting and storage technologies 2. Research for Development (CAADP Pillar 4): • Adapt and then adopt suitable technologies • Appropriate match of crops to the climate, farm environment and culture for now and the future • Present technology packages and not technology bullets www.fanrpan.org
  • 8. Making it Happen in Africa 3. Policy, People and Institutions •Improved fit between technology and the user •Evidence based policies •Social protection for the vulnerable •Training to modernize agriculture •Affordable finance packages •Targeted subsidies •Engaging CSO and social movements 4. Public / Private Partnerships •Engagement of private sector in Africa is weak •Innovative models and conducive policy environment •Win-win solutions •Harmonized policies Africa-wide to help expand the market 16.Systems Approach for Modernizing Agriculture Recognizing: •Family farms ( subsistence); Commercial ; Large-scale www.fanrpan.org
  • 9. The Elephant In The Room MEGA CHALLENGES FOR BRAZIL & AFRICA 1. Rural Poverty 2. Poor Infrastructure (Farm To Market, Irrigation) 3. Illiteracy Hindering Development / Rural Diversification 4. Scaling Up Success Stories 5. Conserve the Environment 9 www.fanrpan.org
