This research focuses on the Brazilian Amazon and details of the agricultural practices (including livestock breeding and agroforestry) of a group of farmers of Japanese descent there. Their 90-year history is reviewed in the context of international economy and politics. Collective self-support strategies of the immigrants in the interior, and assistance from the Brazilian and Japanese governments are discussed. The course of identifying suitable crops to local soil and climate, and the process of farm diversification and agroforestry development is examined. Future prospects for their agriculture are discussed. The literature survey was conducted in the US, Japan, and Brazil (in São Paulo and the Amazon), from 1992 through 1998. Field research was done during May-June 1993, and
December 1994-January 1997. The case study site was selected at the municipality of Tomé-Açu, seat of the largest and second oldest Japanese settlement in the Amazon. The entire Japanese-Brazilian population at Tomé-Açu (1.5 thousand) was surveyed to determine socioeconomic characteristics and land use (78,500 ha). Crops were inventoried at each farm for age, number, area, and cultivation method. The representative Japanese-Brazilian farming systems involving açai, acerola, black pepper, cacao, cupuaçu, passion fruit, pasture, rubber tree, and timber tree species were studied by one-year financial record keeping of 29 fields. Crop systems were found to be more efficient, in terms of income generation and natural resources conservation, than the recently expanding pasture system. Ten to twenty hectares of crop fields and some hundred to more than a thousand hectares of pastures generated similar incomes. Crop farms provided more rural employment per area, especially for women and minors, compared to ranches. Agroforestry seemed an economically viable and ecologically preferable alternative to ranching. However, there were yet various causes inhibiting its development. The experience of Japanese immigrants in the Amazon offers lessons for sustainable rural development of the Amazon region, and the humid tropics of the world.
