The Soy Complex in Brazil • •
Second largest world producer and exporter One of Brazil’s main sources of foreign currency (about 11% of the country’s total exports)
• • •
Over 243.000 producers Generates approximately 1.4 million jobs Promotes sustainable development and moves wealth to the country’s inlands
•
Strong partnership between producer and industry with crop financing (historically 1/3 of the crop)

The Soy Complex in Brazil Genetically Modified Organisms • Identification will be started with “you can count Live Modified Organisms - LMOs” according to the The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety
Cartagena Protocol • Labeling soy oil with the symbol “T” – had no negative effects on consumption
T
• The CTNBio approved the soybean developed by Embrapa/Basf – not yet approved in the EC • ABIOVE negociates with developers for the commercialization of new events after approval by the EC and China 8
Opportunities Higher income will increase chicken consumption • Poultry consumption should rise by 20 million tons in the next eight years • 83% of this growth will occur outside the OECD Country

Opportunities Livestock intensification will be the main source of new lands for soy expansion
Note: 1. Sugar from cane production increase to 45 million tons from 30 million, and of ethanol to 65 billion liters from 18 billion liters using crushed sugar cane. 13

Challenges Agriculture X GGE emissions trade-off? More can be produced emitting less • Agriculture can and should contribute to reducing GGE emissions • 22% of the reduction in Brazilian emissions will come from implanting better agricultural practices and biofuels 14

Challenges Opening of the international markets
• It is essential to open the meat and biodiesel markets by reducing tarif, technical and health barriers • The conclusion of the Doha Development Round and regional agreements are important steps in this direction

Environmental Sustainability Deforestation in the Amazon Biome Brazil is doing its part to reduce deforestation • Policies to regularize land use

• Creation of Conservation Units • Greater monitoring and control • Soy Moratorium and other sectorial initiatives • Funds for environmental financing 18

Soy Moratorium What is the Amazon Biome’s Soy Moratorium? Started July 24, 2006 Objective To reconcile economic development and socioenvironmental preservation in the Amazon Biome, complying with consumers’ demands Commitment Not to trade soy from areas of the Amazon Biome deforested after July 2006 21

Soy Moratorium Conclusions • Only 0.67% of the monitored area is planted with soy • Companies that signed the Moratorium did not acquire the product from these areas • Properties not complying with the Moratorium will not receive prefinancing for the next crop
23
Soy Moratorium Capacity building and Verification of Brazilian Soy Soy Plus Partnership with soybean producers for continuous improvement of environmental, social and economic sustainability indices Enforcement of the strict Brazilian environmental legislation The process will involve: Collection of data and preparation of diagnostics Technical assistance and environmental education Implementation and monitoring of best agricultural practices Voluntary Soy Plus Verification
24
Soy Moratorium Capacity building and Verification of Brazilian Soy Soy Plus Opportunity to develop joint sustainability actions, such as ISGA cooperation among Brazil, Argentina and USA: Data collection on social and environmental conditions of soy production Researches on the environmental sustainability: carbon and water foot print, impacts on soil and water, GMOs, etc International coordination regarding legislative and regulatory issues on third markets Dissemination of best agricultural practices, e.g., no till, crop rotation Creation of mechanisms of Payments for Environmental Services 25
Final considerations The soy complex in Brazil is successful in the technological and economic areas The perspectives for growth are positive and should meet the demands for meal and oil for human consumption and biodiesel Logistics and the opening of international meat and biodiesel markets are important challenges The Brazilian environmental legislation is strict and the soy complex is making increasing efforts to apply it The Soy Moratorium and the Soybean Plus Program are important initiatives to promote sustainability They are also an opportunity to create partnerships and mechanisms for Payment for Environmental Services 26
