The Economics and Organization of Brazilian Agriculture: Recent
Evolution and Productivity Gains presents insights on Brazilian
agriculture and its impressive gains in productivity and
international competitiveness, also providing insightful examples
for global policymakers. In Brazil, as in many countries, many
economists and policymakers believe that agriculture is a
traditional, low-tech sector that crowds out the development of
other economic sectors and the country. This book shows that this
anti-agriculture bias is ill-informed, and with population growth,
rising incomes, urbanization and diet changes - especially in
developing countries like China and India - on the rise, the demand
for food is expected to double in the next 40 years. Brazil has the
natural resources, technology and management systems in place to
benefit from this expected growth in food consumption and trade.
Through real-world examples, the book shows how other low-latitude
countries with tropical climate and soils like Brazil - especially
in sub-Saharan Africa - can benefit from the agricultural
technology, production, and management systems developed in Brazil.
Case studies in each of three key categories, including technology,
resource management, and effective government programs provide
valuable insights into effective decision-making to maximize the
effect of each.

Against the background of global market liberalization, increasing
consumer awareness and concerns and the spreading of complex
technology, new ways to produce, distribute and consume food are
evolving. The organization of agricultural production and
distribution systems need to adapt, including the development and
maintenance of sustainable business relationships between farmers,
food processors and grocery retailers. While agricultural value
chains have been promoted for decades, more attention is needed on
how to enable economic agents to develop lasting relationships and
trust within value chains. Using qualitative and quantitative
empirical results, Agri-food Chain Relationships offers an insight
into the sustainability of current agribusiness relationships and
discusses how these may be improved. Theoretical foundations for
analysing agri-food chain relations are considered alongside case
studies of different countries, food chains and chain stages
regarding the issues of sustainable relationships and trust.
