Which agricultural product in Brazil ranks first in the world?

The output of coffee, sucrose and citrus ranks first in the world.

The area of cultivated land in agriculture and animal husbandry exceeds 2.7 billion mu, with 76.7 million hectares of cultivated land and 65,438+72.3 million hectares of grassland. The output of coffee, sucrose, citrus and kidney beans ranks first in the world, and it is the second largest producer of genetically modified crops, the largest producer of soybeans, the fourth largest producer of corn and the largest exporter of beef and chicken.

In 20 17, the total grain output was 237.7 million tons, of which the output of soybean, corn and rice reached1/0.40 million tons, 97.843 million tons and123.28 million tons respectively.

The development prospect of Brazilian agriculture;

1, the utilization rate of agricultural resources is low, and the potential for increasing production is great. Brazil has unique agricultural resources such as land resources, biological resources and water resources. Brazil is still in the development stage of "expanding agricultural frontier", and the area of cultivated land is still expanding. The famous "savanna" in central and western Brazil accounts for 2 1% of the country's land area, with a total cultivated land area of 280 million hectares.

In the past 20 years, the cultivated land area in Brazil has increased by 1.84% every year, from 34.4 million hectares to 49.5 million hectares, but it still accounts for only 6% of the country's land area, with a per capita of 0.3 hectares (4.75 mu). Brazil's agricultural production potential is huge, and some experts even think that Brazil will be "the world granary in 2 1 century".

2. Agriculture mainly exports products, but food still needs to be imported. The government encourages the production of export crops such as soybeans to earn more foreign exchange, and at the same time can reduce excessive dependence on traditional export crops such as coffee and cocoa. Agriculture is still one of the main industries that earn foreign exchange in this country.

3. Agricultural subjects and small farmers coexist, and regional development is extremely unbalanced. Land ownership in Brazil is extremely uneven. Most of the fertile land in the country is in the hands of big manor owners, and the scale is staggering, with the largest reaching tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of hectares. They run modern commercial farms and mainly produce export agricultural products, such as soybeans, sugar cane, coffee and cocoa.

On the other hand, 85% of the farms are self-sufficient small farmers, mainly producing cassava and black beans, with low labor productivity and economic income. In addition, there are120,000 landless farmers in Brazil, who live at the bottom of society and most of them are still in abject poverty.

Regional development in Brazil is also very uneven. In the economically developed southern and southeastern regions, modern science and technology and management methods are adopted and a large amount of capital is invested. Northeast and central and western regions are underdeveloped areas in Brazil.

Especially in the northeast, although there are many rivers and lakes, there is no irrigation system. Because of the dry climate, agriculture basically depends on the weather, which is the most backward area in China. Small farmers in underdeveloped areas mainly rely on traditional farming methods, and some even slash and burn, seriously destroying resources.
