description Since the 1970s, Brazilian agriculture has undergone far-reaching changes and has played a major role in agricultural production worldwide.

Although higher growth rates have enabled Brazil to narrow the productivity gap with the United States, this does not mean its productivity is superior. Each country’s production structure has specific features; and productivity differences can be seen not only between but also within countries, owing to a variety of factors, including climate, technology and learning in the production process.
