LONDON, Oct. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's largest country in terms of land size and South America's largest nation in terms of land and population size, Brazil is a key player in the geo-political arena and a dominant power among emerging countries. As the world's sixth largest economy, Brazil ranks third among the world's major agricultural exporters and fourth for food products.
The country is the principal recipient and source of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in Latin America and fifth largest recipient nation in the world. Thanks to its agricultural and oil resources, Brazil also ranks second worldwide for bio-ethanol production. Blessed with the world's largest reserves of farm-able and not cultivated land, Brazil has carved out its regional and international rank thanks, to strong exporting agricultural activities, radical economic reforms and an aggressive trade policy.

Even while manufacturing and services are showing a steep growth, agriculture is still a driving force of the Brazilian economy with 5.8 percent of GDP (against 2 percent in France), and with the agribusiness share reaching 23 percent. In 2009, agriculture accounted for 19.3 percent of the labor force, or 19 million people, thus strongly contributing to poverty reduction. Agribusiness employment accounted for 2.7 percent of the labor force. Agriculture also benefited from macroeconomic and structural reforms initiated from the 1990s onward, with the goal of better economic stability, inflation reduction and trade expansion.
These reforms paved the way for competitive agricultural operations, thanks to reduced production costs (inputs) and governmental interventions to control prices for key commodities (coffee, sugar and wheat). Impacted by the financial crisis, agricultures growth has accelerated starting in 2003, partly thanks to a productivity model based on high mechanization, improved concentration and significant labor force reserves. Encouraged to move away from social conflicts linked to land overcrowding and colonization of new production areas, investment in agricultural research boosted crop productivity by over 151 percent in 30 years.
