The Social Profit/Net Revenue ratio in 2014 was of 8.53. In order words, each Brazilian real invested was returned to Brazilian society multiplied by 8.53. The returns from Embrapa’s investment in the 106 technologies monitored and assessed since 1997, the year of the Social Report’s inception, also indicate high yield and an average internal rate of return (IRR) of 39.4%. Social Profit of R$ 23.69 billion This is an assessment of the economic impacts of 106 technologies and 220 cultivars that were developed and transferred to society, which represent 96.5% of the social profit announced. 1,151 actions of relevant social interest and 70 awards and honors Embrapa is known for its commitment to solving Brazilian problems. In 2014, such recognition was materialized in the 70 awards and honors received by Embrapa’s employees, products, activities, and projects. Its social responsibility is also reflected in more than a thousand social actions on family farming, professional education and training, indigenous communities, the environment and environmental education, agrarian reform settlers, traditional and indigenous communities, food security, community support and welfare, and occupational health and safety. New jobs created in 2014 66,255 This is a baseline figure, as it refers to new jobs generated by the 106 technologies assessed in this report. Since Embrapa has developed and transferred thousands of technologies, products, and services to Brazilian society throughout the course of its history, such impact on the number of jobs created each year is certainly much higher.

In this period, many cashew tree orchards have been decimated. Regardless of such reality, precocious dwarf cashew clone BRS 226, developed by Embrapa Tropical Agroindustry in partnership with the Northeast Oil Industrial Company (Companhia Industrial de Óle- os do Nordeste -Cione), has caused surprise due to its productivity, which has reached 800 kilos of cashew nuts per hectare even during droughts. An additional advantage is the resistance to the illness as known resinosis, which is caused by a fungus and hinders production. Embrapa’s dwarf cashew clones have already been recognized as success cases in national and international cashew cropping. Draught-resistant dwarf cashew is being planted in the regions of Picos and Pio XI, the two main cashew crop centres of Piauí state. Moreover, its cultivation is gradually being disseminated, with satisfactory results, to Photo: Ricardo Moura the municipalities Barreira, Beberibe, Cruz, Jati, Mauriti, Solonópole, all of which in the state of Further information: Ceará, and Santana dos Matos, in Rio Grande do http://www.bs.sede.embrapa.br/2014 Norte state.

The higher the interest in diversifying and in aggregating value to agriculture through new foods, fibres, biomaterials, and other raw materials grows; the more their improvement will resort to biodiversity. Therefore, the implementation of gene banks to store samples of biodiversity from Brazil and from other countries is necessary. In 2014, Embrapa inaugurated the largest gene bank of Latin America and one of the ten largest in the world, which tripled its capacity to store seed samples from 250,000 to 750,000. It conserves 735 species of plants, animals, and microorganisms in cold chambers at -20ºC, where they can remain unchanged for up to 100 years. More assurances and food security for the current and future generations.

The average length of each visit also increased from 2:53 minutes to 4:05 minutes after the launch of the new platform. This availability of quality content with free access also earned Embrapa’s website the first place in Latin America in the web ranking of research centres organized by the Spanish National Scientific Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas - CSIC). Such council classified the websites of 8,000 research centres in the planet, setting up a global ranking. In 2014, Embrapa was in 24th place, and the second place among agricultural research centres of the world, only after the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA). Embrapa’s new web portal, launched in April 2014, has consolidated the Corporation’s national and international leadership in the agricultural sector. The website’s premise is the integration of information systems regarding projects, publications, and technological solutions in a single platform to meet the demands of target audiences such as the scientific community, rural extension and technical assistance professionals, and farmers. The Corporation’s more than 83,000 publications freely available for download on the Agricultural Research Database (Base de Dados da Pesquisa Agropecuária - BDPA) have become more visible with the new architecture and the number of downloaded publications rose from 3,806,711 in 2013 to 5,275,268 last year. From May to December 2014, there was a 90% increase in the amount of pages visualized in the portal as opposed to the same period in the previous year.
