Brazil
Where Nature Feeds the Future
Experience one of the world's most dynamic agricultural environments.
Brazil is one of the world's great agricultural powers — a country where enormous production regions, diverse climates and innovative farming systems come together.
From the vast soybean and maize fields of the Cerrado to coffee plantations in Minas Gerais, sugarcane in São Paulo, cattle ranches across the interior and highly specialised horticultural production, Brazil offers an extraordinary range of agricultural experiences.
An AGPEX program in Brazil gives you the opportunity to learn, develop and gain hands-on experience in a professional agricultural environment, while discovering the landscapes, people and culture of one of the world's most diverse countries.
Why Brazil?
Brazil offers something few agricultural destinations can match: scale and diversity in the same country.
You can experience a family-owned coffee farm, explore modern soybean production, discover precision agriculture on a large commercial operation or learn how agricultural products move from the field into global markets.
An agricultural experience in Brazil can become more than another line on your CV.
It can broaden your professional perspective, expand your international network and give you a deeper understanding of agriculture beyond your home country.
