Brazil Developed a Science-Based
Advanced Tropical Agriculture
Brazilian Scientists had to “Tropicalize”
Soybeans and Other Species.
Embrapa invested vigorously in genetic
resources, searching for germplasm suitable
for tropical and subtropical conditions.

Genetic diversity adequately
preserved, accessed and
used will continue to be the
basic foundation for the
continued success of
breeding programs aimed at
developing new varieties,
cultivars and lines.

Cultivar BRS Vitoria
BRS Vitoria is a black
seedless grape with
medium sized, elongated,
droplet-shaped berries. The
flavour is the most
interesting aspect of the
grape for consumers

STRUCTURING PROJECTS
Development projects implemented in partnerships between
Embrapa and one country or a group of countries
✓ Strengthen their technological, institutional, and human resource
bases necessary for sustainable agricultural development.
✓ Example: Embrapa has implemented the Cotton 4 + Togo project
in Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, and Togo in partnership with
the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC).
