Five practice questions, worked

Original questions written to this exam's published syllabus and pattern. Not past papers.

1. Brazil's emergence as a leading exporter of soybeans and meat rests above all on:

  1. public research by Embrapa that adapted crops and pastures to the cerrado
  2. high guaranteed prices paid to farmers under a European-style intervention scheme
  3. irrigation of the semi-arid north-east with water diverted from the Amazon
  4. a ban on agricultural imports that protected domestic farmers from the 1970s
Answer and working

A. public research by Embrapa that adapted crops and pastures to the cerrado

Embrapa, founded in 1973, developed liming and fertility management, tropical soybean varieties and improved pastures that made the acid cerrado soils productive. Brazil's producer support is low by OECD measures, and its growth is not built on high guaranteed prices, north-east irrigation from the Amazon or an import ban.
