Excerpt from Agricultural Development in Brazil: A Case Study of Sao Paulo
The rapid modernization of Brazilian agriculture, particularly in the southern half of the country, can be measured in part by the rapid increase in the use of farm machinery and chemical fertilizers. Between i96o and i97o, the number of tractors in use in Brazil increased by l47 percent, and fertilizer use increased 228 percent. Government policies during the period greatly increased the general availability of credit; provided credit at below market rates for the purchase of tractors, fertil izers, and other modern inputs; and removed taxes on tractor production. Labor legislation which increased the real wages and other benefits to farmworkers also provided farm owners with an incentive to adopt less labor-intensive techniques.
