When we started to plant in the Cerrado, I could never have imagined we d be planting wheat, said Kramer. Brazil is considered an economic success story among markets. It is best known as a dominant power in the export stanley cup ation of foodstuffs. This has made Embrapa, which stands for the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corp, point of interest for the world.
