Embrapa and Brazilian Agriculture
Brazilian agriculture: before 1970's
Low Ag production and low yieldsProduction concentrated in South/SoutheastFood supply crisisRural povertyLack of specific knowledge on Tropical AgricultureInstitutional void (ag research, education, markets, media and governmental agencies, etc.)
THE TASK: TO MOVE FROM TRADITIONAL AGRICULTURE TO AGRICULTURE BASED ON SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY.
•Established in 1973•Linked to the Ministry of Agriculture,
Livestock and Supply •Employees – 8,400•Total Scientists – 2,210•Scientist with PhDs – 1,650• Annual Budget - US$ 650 million

Embrapa & Public-Private Partnerships
1. Financing R&D with profits of a private technology – Ex . Monsanto ( US$ 1 M / year);2. Joint R &D for specific needs – Ex. Paper industry on
genetics of Eucalyptus ;3. Partnership on cultivar development- Soybean (
Foundations), corn (F), sorghun (F) , vegetables, tropical fruits;
11/6/2009
4. Licencing technology from third parties to develop new products- Genes, Semiochemical;5. Licencing Embrapa’s technologies to thePrivate Sector- cultivars, lines, patents, microorganisms,etc;6. Co- hybrids production - oil palm, melon;7. Technological support to Rural DevelopmentProjects implemented by the PS (Venezuela, África);8. Joint R&D for new products – two or more technologies into the same product;9. Technology Transfer on crop-livestock-forestry Integration . Ex. Bunge.

Embrapa in Central America & The Caribbean
Past / Present / Future
Embrapa in Central America & The Caribbean
1. Embrapa´s first major institutional experience in supporting a sister institution outside Brazil was in 1987, when a group of 6 researchers stayed in CENTA / El Salvador, for periods of 6 to 12 months. Financial support was provided by a IDB Project2. Several researchers f rom Embrapa have visited and supported sister institutions with consulting, training, exchange of genetic material, seminars3. Several researchers /technical personel from the region have trained at Embrapa´s centers.
Past
Embrapa in Central America & The Caribbean
1. Embrapa´s first experience in supporting and managing a research project including a experiment station outside Brazil is in Haiti. The project, financed by the Brazilian Cooperation Agency –ABC, entails the creation of a Unit for the Validation and Demonstration of Agricultural Technology in a farm belonging to the Ministry of Agriculture in Fond-des-Nègres, Departament of Nippes. IICA is involved in providing operational support.2. With TCPs financed by ABC/MRE, Embrapa has vastly increased the number of researchers who are visiting and supporting sister institutions with t raining, exchange of genetic material, seminars. TCPs have also helped to expand the number of researchers from the region who have trained at Embrapa´s centers.
Present
Embrapa in Central America & The Caribbean
Embrapa´s proposal for the future have been framed by increased demand for TCPs and training. This led to the following actions :
• 1. Installation of a permanent physical presence in the region –
Embrapa Americas in Panama
• 2. Creation of an International Tropical Agriculture Training Center in Brasilia- 2010
The Future
Embrapa in Central America & The Caribbean
Embrapa Americas
• Installation of a regional office in Panama to support our work in Mexico, Central America, The Caribbean, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru
• Deployment of two staff members – One to coordinate R&D and training related matters and the other technology transfer and business
The Future (2)
Embrapa in Central America & The Caribbean
Embrapa Americas – Pilars• R& D Platforms - development of specific regional projects with countries of the region and international institutions. Countries / institutions participating in the project will develop it together and will select the regional institution that could be the headquarter for that project. •Transfer of Technology projects - this is the predominant type of project existing today. It will continue, but we expect that some of this projects could be transformed in projects in the R&D Platform.• Business - promising areas are related to seed sales and licensing, other genetic material and support to private companies operating in the region. An example is our support to Odebrech Corporation in Venezuela.
The Future (3)
Embrapa in Central America & The Caribbean
Embrapa Americas – Implementation phases
• November 2009 - Technical Mission to Panama .
• November / December 2009 - selection of researchers to be deployed in Panama.
• December 2009 to February 2010 - internal and external travel s to develop initial projects and workplan s involving NARs , Embrapa and donors.
• March 2010 – installation workshop in Panama.
