In Brazil over 85 % of farms are smaller than 50 hectares. Many articles have been written in the past on this subject in this same site and elsewhere ! - Guest Wed, 21 Jun 2006 16:09:01 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6676/1/#pc_4052 These figures are not necessarily wrong. The explanation is the inclusion of Amazon region in the calculation. A \"small\" farm in terms of production there may be much more 1000 hectares, due to its configuration. - Guest Wed, 21 Jun 2006 06:44:39 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6676/1/#pc_4057 if there is 6,5 millions hectares and 20\'000 farmers for organic farming, the average farm is 324 hectares. Thus 80 % of farms are NOT small, even by Brazilian standard, knowing that you consider a small farm when it is below 50 hectares. Or the numbers are simply....WRONG....AS USUAL ! Also knowing that 1 hectare produces a minimum of $ 500.- when grains are produced, and far more when other products are made, you Organic Industry should be at least US$ 5 billions annually. And that is NOT the case ! Sorry. Please review your lies ! - Guest Tue, 20 Jun 2006 14:40:42 +0100
