Mission: To Promote Social Development in Brazil and Abroad

2. AGRICULTURE AND BIOFUEL IN BRAZIL Agriculture represents 35% of Brazil’s GDP

Agriculture and Livestock production occupies 360 million hectares and Biofuels represents 4.6 % of the total potential agricultural area:

Brazilian Ethanol Production: 23 billion liters/year

Brazilian Biodiesel Production: 2.8 billion liters/year

Electricity Generated by Biomass: 9.5 GW/year
