00:00:00 - 00:05:00

In the YouTube video "Mercado brasileiro de sementes movimenta R$ 45 bilhões por ano," Mauro Andrade interviews Rogério Borges from Embrapa Soy about advancements in the Brazilian seed market. The agricultural sector's growth is attributed to more adapted seed varieties, leading to a thriving seed market worth approximately 45 billion reais. The use of certified seeds varies regionally, with southern Brazil being the primary seed production area. Producers in these regions often retain seed for their own use. The dynamic seed market introduces new cultivars yearly, making it difficult for producers to adopt new technology. Embrapa ensures cultivar launches consider factors like planting time, soil fertility, and climate to maintain seed and crop quality. Climate challenges, such as irregular rainfall and zone agriculture, put pressure on producers to optimize land and water resources. Embrapa offers tools like planting windows and drought management techniques to help producers navigate these issues. Amidst production restrictions, Mauro Andrade reflects on Embrapa SOJA's role in the industry.

The Brazilian agricultural sector has seen significant growth in production and productivity, largely due to more adapted seed varieties. The Brazilian seed market, which is not just for soybean seeds, has experienced growth in recent years, estimated to be around 45 billion reais. The use of certified and legal seeds varies from region to region, with Brazil's southern regions, such as Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and the southern part of Paraná, being the most suitable for seed production. Producers in these regions often keep more seed for their own use. The seed market is dynamic, with new cultivars being launched every year, making it challenging for producers to decide whether to adopt new technology or not. Embrapa conducts significant tests to ensure the launch of a cultivar, taking into account factors such as planting time, soil fertility, and climate, which all impact seed and crop quality. Climate-related issues, such as irregular rainfall and zone agriculture, are becoming more common, putting pressure on producers to make the most of their land and water resources. Embrapa provides important tools to help producers navigate these challenges, such as planting windows and drought management techniques.
