| The project aims to develop/finalize, validate and disseminate technologies that strengthen the chain of production of family-based citrus, collaborating for its socio-economic-environmental sustainability, basically through prospecting in germplasm and the development of products rich in bioactive compounds. In order to conduct the project, a multidisciplinary and interinstitutional team was formed, composed of researchers, extension agents, representatives of the productive chain and consumers Status: Completed Start date: 01/09/2017 |

The tobacco production in southern Brazil is an activity of great economic and social relevance and is strongly linked to the context of family farming. Although this activity is recognized for its economic relevance, there are opportunities for the incorporation of knowledge and good agricultural practices (GAP) that contribute to increase the sustainability of the tobacco producing property. For this reason, efforts have been made in many producing countries in order to guarantee the well-b ...Status: Completed Start date: 01/10/2019 |
| Brazil is the world's third largest fruit producer. Great part of this production is commercialized within the internal market, but an important volume can't reach its consumers due to high post-crop losses (30%-40%). The southern region of Brazil is characterized by temperate climate fruit production and commercialization, among which is the peach, apples, strawberries and melons, which are economically and socially important, be it for commercialized volume or job generation, or even for estab Status: Completed Start date: 01/10/2010 |
| The Brazilian fruit farmer needs new product options which have a commercial appeal in order to maintain themselves in the market. Blueberries and blackberries are a part of these options, they are increasingly awakening the interest of producers due to their nutraceutic properties and usage possibilities. These species can present great production in small areas. Temperate Climate Embrapa has launched the Tupy blackberry cultivar, which is the most used but has thorny stems, hindering the plant Status: Completed Start date: 01/09/2010 |
| Reference collections aim to sample and document the variability and geographic range of target species of interest and make preserved specimens available for basic and applied research. The activities developed involve the curation, enrichment, maintenance, documentation and public availability of the collection for in-person consultations, loan requests or online access. At Embrapa, the reference collections mainly support research on genetic and natural resources and have the primary mission Status: In progress Start date: 01/05/2021 |
| The production of strawberries in Brazil is of great importance and has been experiencing increasing expansion every year. This culture still is of great social importance once great part of productive areas are based in family farming, thus being directly linked to family income, job offer and establishment of manpower in rural economical activities. Despite its importance, many are the technological gaps and few are the research institutions currently involved in strawberry studies. Great part Status: Completed Start date: 01/03/2010 |
| Many are the Brazilian regions which cultivate stone fruits (peaches, plums and nectarines), such as the surrounding areas of Pelotas - RS, the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre - RS, the Serra Gaúcha, the states of Santa Catarina, Paraná and São Paulo, passing by the south of Minas Gerais and Campos das Vertentes (Caldas, Poços de Caldas and Barbacena), the colder regions of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo and, recently, in regions of higher altitude in the state of Bahia. In addition to th ... Status: Completed Start date: 01/04/2010 |
| Olives and olive oil are products frequently found in Brazilian tables. As a result of the small number of planted areas and insignificant production in Brazil, importing has been an alternative to supply internal demand. In 2007, the country imported US$170 millions in olive oil and US$250 millions in olives, according to data from the Ministry of Development, Industry and International Commerce. Researches carried out by Epamig, in Maria da Fé - MG, demonstrated the possibility of rational exp ... Status: Completed Start date: 01/04/2010 |
