This book was released on 2005-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication examines Brazil's agricultural sector, including policy challenges and economic reforms, support measures and the effectiveness of current measures. Findings include that Brazil provides much lower level of support to its agricultural sector than most OECD countries, a large and increasing share of which is provided through credit subsidies. This support could be more productively oriented to areas such as research and extension, training, and the development of rural infrastructure, in order to help sustain improvements in international competitiveness, and at the same time draw poor smallholders into the development process.
