23. Conclusion
Embrapa's research has enabled Brazil to significantly increase Agriculture production.
Soybean production has increased by 360%; maize, by 128%; wheat, by 49%; and rice and beans, by 27%.
Research has also enabled farmers to produce soybean in the cerrado, to eliminate numerous pests and to grow fruit in the semi-arid region.
It has also developed alternative logging techniques that prevent the destruction of forests.
