Summary: In the last years, Brazilian agricultural industry underwent important transformations conquering relevant space in the internal and external markets. Currently, Brazil is the main exporter of orange juice, sugar, coffee, beef, pork and poultry, and the second largest exporter of soy and maize (Usda, 2017). Technology development and constant technological innovations was the watershed for Brazil to leave the past as a food importer in the 1960s to become an agricultural power, competing in the largest global markets. Within this successful effort, the creation of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) in December 1972, was decisive. Since its inception, the institution has produced hundreds of innovations that have dramatically increased agricultural efficiency.
