Brazil's harvest in 2016 will reach 209.3 million tons, which is 0.5% less than in 2015 according to the estimates from the Brazilian stats institute, IBGE. The fall is related to less crops of oilseeds, cereals and legumes in the centre west of the vast country, which is also the main farming area, as well as in the north. Read full article

Look at the headline: Brazil's harvest for 2016 estimated at 209.3 million tons, slight drop from 2015

And in the second paragraph: This year the final harvest is estimated by IBGE to reach 210.3 million tons, just below an earlier estimate (210.6 million tons), which represents an 8.1% increase over the previous crop year, which in 2014 was 194.6 million tons.

In my view this is wonderful news that has been transformed in the worst events in the world by MercoPress.

The foreign media sell his own mother for speak ill of Brazil.

5 Eyes will have a glaucoma if Brazil keep moving forward!

You should donate any spare harvest to India, they are poorer and need it,

Brazil is rich and needs nothing,

Brazil is the largest donor of food in the world! The African continent receives our help is in food or soil correction technology for planting.

The improved seeds from Embrapa are largely donated for planting in Africa, India, Indonesia and East Timor.

The agronomists from Embrapa are also spread across all these countries providing rural extension and skilled labor for the development of agriculture in these friendly countries.

Interested parties can learn more about the work developed by Embrapa:

“The improved seeds... ”

Does that mean you are dumping GMO products on the unsuspecting Africans?

The agribusiness is doing just fine......thanks to the private sector and little or no intereference from the PT idiots.....Finally, the socialist pigs in the government and in the PT have realized and come to implicitely accept that only what is 'private' actually works...
And fyg, EMBRAPA was also doing just fine, long before the corruPT PT came into power.... th4 ignorANUS, you can't claim any merit....

Funny how Brassiero talks about agriculture profits in Yuan elsewhere on Mercopress. The whole story is about increasing production for an export market, but that export market is driven by the strong U.S. Dollar, that gives excellent returns for Brazil, better than what they can realise from the weakening Yuan.

Yawn....
