Soybean was the fastest growing crop in Brazil,
in the last 40 years
1. Why the XI WSRC should be in Brazil
Brazil is one of the largest producers of agricultural commodities, with soybean being the leader in
production and in exports. The immense grain production also supports a robust meat industry that has
made Brazil one of the main food exporters. Brazilian agribusiness is a pillar of the country’s economy, and
it is based on strong investments in basic and applied research.
Soybean was introduced into Brazil in 1882 from the United States of America (USA) and tested in the
low latitude conditions of the Brazilian northeast (12° S). It did not thrive right away because the genetic
material tested did not evolve in such low latitudes. The cultivation was successful in this country from
the 1940s, when tested in the extreme Southern Brazilian locations, in latitudes (27° S to 34° S) where
subtropical conditions resemble those occurring in the Southern region of the USA, the source of the
genetic material. At the end of the 1940’s, production reached 25,000 tons, rapidly advancing to about
200,000 tons by the end of the following decade and to one million tons by the end of 1960. Therefore, in
2020, XI WSRC in Rio de Janeiro would celebrate the important milestone of 140 years of the first soybean
introduction into Brazilian lands and 80 years of its flourishing in the country. The 80 years of successful
history made this crop the “gold grain” of a nation and led the way for Brazil to become one of the most
important soybean producers and exporters worldwide.
The great leap in soybean production in Brazil took place during the 1970´s, when it reached 15 million tons
which lead to the crop becoming the leader of the national agribusiness, and generated the development
of other crops, especially corn, which, together with soybean, promoted Brazil as a major producer and
exporter of meats. The impact of soybean on the Brazilian agribusiness sector has been so significant that
we can divide the sector into two phases: before and after soybean.
Largely dependent on genetic material introduced from the USA until the late 1970s, another great leap
in Brazilian soybean development occurred in the 1980s, with the development of varieties adapted to the
conditions of low latitudes of the Brazilian Midwest, an impressive breakthrough from Brazilian science,
something that could be reproduced in other areas in the world with the same latitude.
Agribusiness accounts for approximately 25% of GDP, 45% of exports and 35% of the country’s jobs.
Also, the soybean complex is the main product of the export agenda. Given its productive efficiency in food
production in low latitude tropical regions, Brazil presents itself as one of the main producers in the future
food supply of humanity, with soybean leading this process.
In the 2016/17 crop, growing an area of 33.9 million hectares from 33° S to 5° N, Brazil produced 114
million tons (Mt) and ranked second among the world’s largest soybean producers, just behind the USA
(117 Mt). Projections indicate that the country has the potential to become the leader in world soybean
production over the next few seasons.
Finally, to bring the international scientific community up to date about the spectacular progress of the
Brazilian agribusiness, particularly the soybean cultivation, we invite you to come to the city of Rio de
Janeiro. Also, to invite the soybean community to visit the city that was home to the FIFA Football World
Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016; a city to inspire scientific discussions at the 2020 WSRC; a
city known worldwide for its undeniable natural charms made up of hills, forests and beaches, together
with its friendly, charismatic and happy people, embraced by the Christ the Redeemer statue.

Rio gathers natural beauty and
infrastructure of metropolis The City of Rio de Janeiro annually receives around 3 million foreign tourists, which, according to Tourism
Agencies, makes it the most visited city in the country. Additionally, more than 5 million Brazilian tourists
visit the city every year. With its ample infrastructure of tourism services, Rio de Janeiro is ranked among
the top destinations in the world in reception for cultural, commercial, technical and scientific events,
fairs, symposia, congresses, conventions and exhibitions. Its exuberant natural resources include 90 km
of beaches, such as the famous Copacabana and Ipanema. Another of its highlights is the Tijuca National
Park, which includes the largest urban forest in the world, with 3,200 hectares of Atlantic Forest, in addition
to the State Parks of Pedra Branca, Desengano and Chacrinha, covering an area of 48.500 hectares, and
the lakes and lagoons of Rodrigo de Freitas, Jacarepaguá, Camorim, Tijuca and Marapendi. One place that
is a must for anyone involved with agricultural production, is the Botanical Garden, founded in 1808 by
King John VI of Portugal, with over 6,500 species (some endangered) distributed throughout an area of 54
hectares.
According to ICCA - International Congress and Convention Association -Rio de Janeiro was ranked first
as an international meeting destination in the Americas several times in the last decade, also, among the
top 20 international destinations in the world, several times. Rio is considered an amazing destination for
Business travel and for tourism where you can enjoy nature at its best with friends, family and colleagues.

6. Suggested Date
Our proposal is to organize the XI WSRC, in Rio de Janeiro city, during the second half of November of
2020. The season coincides with the middle of spring, when the average high temperature is 26°C and
the average low temperature is 20°C. At that time of the year, most researchers and producers will have
finished sowing soybeans, thus making it easier for them to participate. This date will also allow visitors
from other countries to visit soybean growing fields and become familiar with Brazilian production systems
in a tropical region, as well, as visiting cooperatives and other large soybean corporations at the time of the
year when summer is just around the corner.
Rio de Janeiro, as a culturally diverse city with natural beauty, will let WSRC participants enjoy the
harmonious and agreeable environment for both leisure and work.

Subject: Support for the Brazilian bid to host WSRC XI
Dear Chairman,
1. Brazil is the second world largest soybean grower, just behind USA. The
projections indicate that it may become the number one grower in a few years. Soybean
research in Brazil is quite strong. Along with Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research
Corporation) there is a consolidated network of institutions that provide soybean
production knowledge and technology, such as state institutes, universities, cooperatives
and foundations.
2. At the field, Brazilian soybean farmers are highly technified and are very
enterprising. The Brazilian agribusiness sector is well developed, accounting for more
than 20% of country´s GDP, more than 40% of total Brazilian exports and more than 30%
of the country’s total jobs.
3. The infrastructure and expertise of Rio de Janeiro to hold major events
have reached a new level, especially after hosting the 2014 Soccer World Cup and the
Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Besides, Brazil is a place of natural beauty
and happy people.
4. The Soybean Sectorial Chamber is a support body to the Brazilian Ministry
of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply. It comprises representatives of public and
private entities that make up the soybean production chain, such as farmer associations,
financing agencies, transport regulatory agencies, processing industry associations, seed
trade associations, plant breeding associations, exporters' associations, among others. The
Soybean Sectorial Chamber would like to support the Brazilian bid to organize and hold
the WSRC XI in 2021.
Sincerely yours,

Dr. Ricardo Vilela Abdelnoor
WSRC Continuing Committee Chairman
Savannah, United States
Dear Chairman,
Considering the soybean agribusiness in Brazil and the expertise concentrate
at Embrapa Soybean, the Brazilian Cooperatives Organization (OCB) supports the
recommendation of the Brazilian Agricultural and Livestock Research Corporation (Embrapa)
to host the next World Soybean Research Conference (WSRC) in Brazil in 2021.
The Brazilian Cooperatives Organization (OCB) is the national apex
organization for all the cooperative enterprises in the country. OCB represents 6.655
cooperatives, which congregate 12.7 million people and generate 376 thousand direct jobs.
Our mission is to represent the cooperative model front to the government bodies, as well as
offer services to help them to improve their business management.
The Brazilian cooperatives are very active in the agribusiness field. There are
1.555 agricultural cooperatives spread for all the 27 Brazilian States. These cooperatives unite
more than 1 million farmers and combine more than US$ 5.2 billion annually. The good results
come in consequence of constant investment in management improvement and solid
partnerships with reference institutions as Embrapa.
Currently, Brazil is responsible for approximately 27 percent of the world's
soybean production, and the country can become the World's largest producer and exporter
of soybeans grain and byproducts. The soybean complex, which gathers the productive chain
of soybean, is one of the main items in the country's Trade Balance. In 2016, the Brazilian
soybean complex exports reached US$ 31.4 billion. The cooperatives were responsible for
US$ 585 million in exports of the soy complex in 2016.
Therefore, we strongly believe that the Brazilian agribusiness, being very robust
and internationally competitive, could aggregate significantly to the WSRC legacy. We are
certain that the Brazilian cooperative system could also take enrich this important research
initiative.
Sincerely,
Márcio Lopes de Freitas

World Soybean Research Conference
Dear Mr. Ricardo Abdelnoor,
On behalf of Council of Biotechnology Information (CIB), a not-for-profit association
dedicated to promoting science based information about genetically modified
organisms (GMOs), we hereby support Brazil’s candidacy to host the XI World Soybean
Research Conference (WSRC), in 2021, in Rio de Janeiro. This candidacy will be
presented by one of the country’s most important agriculture research companies,
Embrapa Soybean, during the X WRSC in Savannah/ USA.
The Brazilian Agribusiness structure is organized and robust. Small, medium and large
scale producers are supported by a system of extension and production that integrates
public and private institutions. Brazilian agribusiness generates about four million direct
and indirect jobs and the soybean complex is responsible for about 15% of the country’s
total exports. Brazil is the second largest producer of the grain and could be the first by
2021. In 2017, the soybean complex exports will probably reach nearly US$ 30 billion,
including products and goods for several industries. Certainly, the early adoption ag-
biotechnology in soybeans, in 1998, has contributed to these impressive figures.
We believe that technology is the key for a competitive and sustainable agriculture and
that Brazil is doing well in this regard, especially with the soybean example. Due to its
relevance for the world’s production of the culture and to Embrapa Soybean’s expertise
in the research of genetic improvement of the plant, both through biotech and
conventional breeding, we believe Brazil is the perfect place to held the XI World
Soybean Conference, in 2021.
Yours sincerely,
Adriana Brondani

Subject: Support for the Brazilian bid to host WSRC XI
Dear Chairman,
The Brazilian Academy of Sciences would like to support the Brazilian bid to organize and
hold the World Soybean Research Conference XI, in 2021.
Brazil is now the second world largest soybean grower, just behind USA. The projections
indicate that it may become the number one grower in a few years, thanks to the increase
in productivity, due to remarkable achievements of Brazilian science.
Along with EMBRAPA (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation) there is a consolidated
network of institutions that provide knowledge and technology for soybean production,
such as state institutes, universities, cooperatives and foundations. At the field, Brazilian
soybean farmers are highly technical and are very enterprising.
The Brazilian agribusiness sector is well developed, accounting for more than 20% of
country´s GDP, more than 40% of total Brazilian exports and more than 30% of the
country’s total jobs.
Furthermore, the infrastructure and know-how of Rio de Janeiro to hold major events have
reached a new level, especially after hosting the 2014 Soccer World Cup and the Rio 2016
Olympic and Paralympic Games.
We are sure that the realization of this prestigious conference in Brazil will help to boost
the research and contribute to the strengthening of international collaboration in this
important area of agriculture.
