Almost half of all agricultural researchers are employed by the main federal government agency, Embrapa, and a further quarter are employed by the state agricultural research organizations (OEPAS). During 2006-2013, agricultural R&D spending rose by 43 percent due to growth at Embrapa and in the higher education sector, particularly among federal universities. At 1.82 percent, spending as a share of AgGDP is the highest in Latin America.  aDesenvolvimento agrícola  aPesquisa agrícola  aIndicador agrícola1 aGUIDUCCI, R. do C. N.1 aTORRES, D. A.
