This is an assessment of the economic impacts of surplus generated by a sample of
103 technologies and 227 cultivars that were developed and transferred to society,
which represents 97.62% of the social profit announced.

Brazilian society
Net income in 2012 reached R$ 2.26 billion, a 10.02% increase from 2011. This was
once again the highest income in history. And all this money was returned to society,
multiplied by 7.80.
Considering the period the company has published Social Reports (1997/2012), and
the costs and benefits of 65 technologies, the average internal rate of return (IRR)
was 45.1%. This is another sign of the high profitability of investment in agricultural

new jobs created
in 2012
This is a baseline figure, as it only refers to new jobs generated by a sample of the
technologies evaluated in this Social Report. Embrapa has developed and transferred
thousands of technologies, products and services to Brazilian society. Such impact is not
calculated, but without doubt, the number of jobs created each year is much higher.

What is yet to be done?
In the 2006 Agricultural Census, 4.4 million rural establishments reported production and possession of
Embrapa and

Government’s
strategic programs
land to produce: owners, tenant farmers, squatters. Out of this total, five hundred thousand establishments generated 87% of the gross output value, including self-consumption and homemade industry.
The other 13% were accounted for by 3.9 million establishments. Among these, there are 2.9 million
establishments that contributed with only 3% of the whole output reported in the 2006 Census.
It is clear that the vast majority of establishments have stood aside the modernization of agriculture
because they were not able to turn knowledge into technologies. Such transformation of knowledge
into technologies and social actions is the essence of technology transfer, which involves the removal
of countless market imperfections that precluded such great majority of establishments from playing a
bigger role in the 2006 crop. Technical assistanceassistance arrangements, rural credit, leasing and labor
laws are included among such imperfections. That is why doing what is yet to be done, i.e., including
those millions of Brazilians into modern agriculture, is such a great challenge.

A new strategic guidance
The year of 2012 at Embrapa was marked by the consolidation of a new strategic guidance, which aims
Since the beginning of its existence, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, Embrapa, has cho-
at increasing the alignment of the corporation’s actions with the priorities established by the main gover-
sen to be transparent and justify each Real society invested in it. Such accountability is performed in se-
nmental programs and by organized segments of society, by means of specifying demands for research
veral ways, with different degrees of complexity. The Social Report competently emphasizes two facets
and development as well as for technology transfer and knowledge exchange.
of Embrapa actions: research outcomes and the cost of their production for society. It is a summary of
the company life. By using the language of numbers, it shows how Embrapa’s work has benefited Brazil.

ABC Plan: adaptation to climate change
Embrapa takes part in the Sectorial Plan for Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change towards the
Consolidation of a Low-Carbon Economy in Agriculture (ABC Plan) with actions to promote dissemination
of knowledge, capacity-building of agricultural technicians and producers, technology transfer, research and
development, and adaptation to climate change. These actions are focused on the priorities established by
the Plan, namely: rehabilitation of degraded pastures, no-tillage system, crop-livestock-forestry integration
(CLFi), Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF), planted forests and treatment of animal waste.
State Management Groups of the ABC Plan have been organized to work jointly with MAPA in the following states: Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, Tocantins, Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Santa Catarina, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Pará, Rondônia, Bahia, and Piauí.
In 2012, 31 capacity-building courses and 99 TT events (field days, lectures, seminars) took place, and 71
new Technological Reference Units (URTs) or Presentation Units were established so as to enable the
training of multipliers.

Integrated production involves the entire production chain, with priority on sustainable management
and certified quality food production. This is a voluntary certification system based on documents
that include specific technical standards and give instructions on the management to be adopted
for production and post-harvest; the agrochemicals recorded for the crop; the field and post-harvest
records related to traceability; and checklists to guide compliance assessment audits.
Integrated Wheat Production has fostered partnerships among agents within the production chain,
generating clear criteria for product segregation and trade . These partnerships have involved 10 institutions – including cooperatives, mills and the food industry–, and 500 wheat producers, totaling
a planted area of 25,000 ha, which produced over 75,000 tons of wheat. In terms of geographic

distribution, the project was implemented in the Southern and Southeastern regions, the largest
centers of wheat production and consumption in Brazil, respectively.
Wheat lots may be segregated according to different characteristics. For example: a class bread
cultivar destined to manufacture pasta that produces yellow-colored flour, dispensing with the use
of colorants and improving the product appearance; and a class bread cultivar with white flour that
was used in the baked goods industry. The homogenous wheat lots enabled better yield in milling
and an improvement in the rheological quality of flour, dispensing with mixtures to obtain the features demanded by the industry. Another advantage is the production of wheat intended for the production of baby food, where each truckload is monitored concerning the levels of mycotoxins and
is kept segregated throughout the post-harvesting stages, ensuring food security and compliance
with recent Brazilian laws.

Approximately 2.5 million tons of agrochemicals are used in the world every year. Brazilian consumption exceeds 300 thousand tons of commercial products, which accounts for a 700% increase in the last 40 years, whereas the agricultural area increased by 78% in the same period. The
SisAlert platform has the role of predicting disease risks for the crops that are part of integrated
production systems in different Brazilian producing regions with the purpose of rationalizing the
use of agrochemicals, obtaining certified quality products, increasing the competitiveness of the
production chain and offering safe food to consumers.
System identifies risk of
plant disease epidemics
and reduces up to 40%
of the production cost
This tool has been effective for diseases such as scabies, bull’s eye rot, bitter rot, white rot and
flyspeck in apple crops, and fusarium head blight and panicle blast in wheat crops. Downey mildew
and powdery mildew in vines, white mould in beans, anthracnose and grey mould in strawberries,
soybean rust in soybeans, and fusarium head blight in barley are at an experimental stage.
Depending on the prevailing climate conditions and the characteristics of the crop, production costs
may be reduced by up to 40 percent when SisAlert indications are adopted in comparison with the
calendar-based application system.

In 2002, the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) granted Aprovale the recognition of the Indication of
Origin (IO) named “Vale dos Vinhedos”,a pioneer of the genre of geographic indications in Brazil located in the
southern state of Rio Grande do Sul which has become a reference for the remaining Geographic Indications
(GIs) for wines and farming products in other regions of the country. With the support of Embrapa Grapes and
Wine, the Designation of Origin (DO) “Vale dos Vinhedos” was recognized in 2012, becoming the first DO
of fine wines and sparkling wines from Brazil. In 2007, the GI Vale dos Vinhedos was awarded recognition by
the European Union, making it thus possible that wines with such differentiation can reach this demanding
market while projecting their image at an international level.
The IO Pinto Bandeira and the IO Altos Montes (Flores da Cunha and Nova Pádua) are following the same
path, as they were recognized by INPI in 2010 and 2012. In addition, the IO Farroupilha for muscatel fine wines and the IO Monte Belo region are underway. Other farming products are also following the same path,
Geographical indications: a
sign of quality and assertion
of a regional identity
with enormous potential of value aggregation.The GIs Cachaça from Paraty (Rio de Janeiro state), Meat from
the Pampa within Rio Grande do Sul state, Coffee from Cerrado Mineiro (Minas Gerais state), Grapes and
Mangoes from the Valley of the San Francisco River and Rice from the Coast of Rio Grande do Sul State have
already been granted. In addition to the trademark, the success of the enterprises also depends on technological training, marketing and communication, and sectorial mobilization.

The chips and straw potato industry involves hundreds of small and medium companies in Brazil,
and faces enormous difficulties to obtain good-quality raw materials. There are very few potato cultivars which enable good-quality processed products because they have been developed in other
countries with quite different soil and climate conditions from Brazilian potato-producing regions.
The outcome is a low-quality, poorly competitive product in the market.
The BRSIPR Bel potato cultivar meets such requirement. It is especially intended to be planted in
regions whose output is reserved to manufacture and process chips and straw potatoes, both in
small and large processing plants. It enables new –even small– agroindustries to compete by supplying local markets with high-quality products, which has been difficult due to the lack and high

cost of raw materials. This is a relevant fact to strengthen short production and trade cycles and
strengthen local economies.
Its advantages over the best imported variety utilized in Brazil are the appearance of tubers, lower
incidence of physiological defects, and higher resistance to fungal and viral diseases. The proof of
the success of the research action is the fact that, in view of a participative methodology, producers themselves have been interested in the Bel cultivar, reversing the classic model of technology
supply.

Impact
Calculated impacts of the participation of cultivars generated by Embrapa and partners on the domestic market for cotton seeds,
irrigated rice, dryland rice, beans, maize, soybeans, sorghum and wheat.
Embrapa cultivars and partners
The sunflower crop came as a diversification alternative for crop rotation systems in grain-producing
regions– more specifically the Brazilian Cerrado and, in particular, the State of Mato Grosso. One
of the reasons is the possibility of soybean-sunflower succession, which improves the efficiency of
land use and increases the income of rural producers. Farmers mention other advantages, such as
the fact that the sunflower sowing window does not compete with other crops or that it is more resistant to water deficits. Sunflower is the fourth most cultivated oleaginous plant in the world, and
its oil is recognized as of excellent quality for food purposes. But a constraint on its development
was the low availability of cultivars adapted to the Brazilian soil and climate conditions.
The BRS 323 sunflower hybrid, with a high productive potential for grains and oil, meets such re-

quirement. It is recommended for cropping in the states of Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Distrito Federal,
Goiás, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Pará, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio
Grande do Norte, Rondônia, São Paulo, and Sergipe. A survey in the region on Campo Novo dos
Parecis, Mato Grosso, showed profits of R$ 220.00 per hectare, confirming high productive potential, resistance to lodging and downey mildew, and high oil content: about 41%. It also has positive
impacts on economic, social and environmental aspects, such as the fixation of the workforce in
the countryside, production of healthier oil for food and a new bran alternative for animal feed.

processes are analyzed by means of printed maps. Each single process is reviewed by several
tiers in the environmental body responsible, once the authorization for enterprises is examined
in compliance with several environmental provisions: Conservation Unit, Permanent Preservation
Areas, Legal Reservation and Indigenous Areas. In order to solve this problem, the Mato Grosso
do Sul state Environmental Institute (Instituto de Meio Ambiente de Mato Grosso do Sul, Imasul)
and Embrapa Agricultural Informatics have created the Interactive Environmental Licensing Support
System (Sistema Interativo de Suporte ao Licenciamento Ambiental, Sisla). Available on the web
(http://sisla.imasul.ms.gov.br), it enables users to obtain a spatial analysis of the property, as a report is issued within minutes, online. This fact led to a positive impact on the quality of environmental regularization analyses in the state and made authorization of licenses faster, especially for the

implementation of agricultural enterprises. The system enables the addition of rural property data, a
feature required by the Rural Environmental Registry (Cadastro Ambiental Rural, CAR) and established in the New Forest Code. It is a tool to help both implement the Forest Code and develop laws
and regulation at federal, state and local levels.

Impact
It includes the new job positions that would not have been created if producers had adopted other technological solutions in the
various segments of the production chain, i.e., measures only the additional jobs in comparison with the previous year.
Generation of jobs
The use of chemical insecticides is the main control method employed to fight maize pests, which
might cause 20 to 35% output losses. Transgenic seeds have been used in recent years to control
the fall armyworm, but this problem remains to be solved because of the beginning of resistance
and increase in the attack of other pests due to the decrease in the use of chemical insecticides,
demanding other forms of control.
Embrapa has developed bioinsecticides based on Bacillus thuringiensis–a natural soil bacterium–
and on Baculovírus spodoptera. It built a biofactory in partnership with the Ceará state Department
of Agriculture in 2012 to manufacture the BT biopesticide to be distributed free of charge to smal-

lholders in the state, (defined as those with 2- to 10-hectare properties). More than 5,000 families
are estimated to be benefited both financially, due to the lower cost of the biopesticide in comparison with conventional pesticides, and environmentally, rivers and springs are not contaminated
by chemicals. Embrapa has also licensed the technology for Grupo Vitae Rural, which is to going
to open a biofactory in Uberaba, Minas Gerais state, this year to manufacture baculovirus-based
biopesticides. Besides not being harmful to the environment and human beings, biopesticides
are highly selective and do not harm the natural enemies of insect pests, which enhances control
effects.
