The Cerrado is the key<br />

The key to Brazil’s growth in agricultural output is the Cerrado.<br />

Thirty years ago, this land was considered unproductive due to its high<br />

acidity and low nutrient level of the soil.<br />

Adding significant quantities of limestone over the past twenty years<br />

addressed acidity, turning this land into a highly productive asset.<br />

The UN Food and Agricultural Organization estimates Brazil has over 400<br />

million hectares of arable land (much of it in the Cerrado), yet only 50<br />

million hectares are currently in use.<br />
