Opportunities in Brazilian Agribusiness

The agribusiness sector represents a highly significant component of Brazil's GDP. Economy globalization, advanced technologies and sound developed-country subsidy policies gave rise to an increasingly fierce competition in the agribusiness sector. Such factors have encouraged professional development in the sector, especially as regards business management. Professional development in the sector will be achieved through a participatory planning process, as well as through individual and collective experience and learning of all persons involved in the process.
