Irrigation in Brazil has been developed through the use of different models. Public involvement in irrigation is relatively new while private investment has traditionally been responsible for irrigation development. Private irrigation predominates in the populated South, Southeast, and Center-West regions with most of the country’s agricultural and industrial development. In the Northeast region, investments made by the public sector seek to stimulate regional development in an area prone to droughts and with serious social problems. These different approaches have resulted in diverse outcomes.

  • Irrigation in Brazil has been developed through the use of different models. Public involvement in irrigation is relatively new while private investment has traditionally been responsible for irrigation development. Private irrigation predominates in the populated South, Southeast, and Center-West regions with most of the country’s agricultural and industrial development. In the Northeast region, investments made by the public sector seek to stimulate regional development in an area prone to droughts and with serious social problems. These different approaches have resulted in diverse outcomes. Of the 120 million hectares (ha) that are potentially available for agriculture, only about 3.5 million ha are under irrigation, although estimates show that 29 million ha are suitable for this practice.

  • A irrigação no Brasil foi desenvolvida por meio do uso de diferentes modelos. O envolvimento público na irrigação é relativamente novo, enquanto o investimento privado tem sido tradicionalmente responsável pelo desenvolvimento da irrigação. A irrigação privada predomina nas regiões povoadas do Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste, onde ocorre a maior parte do desenvolvimento industrial e agrícola do país. Na região Nordeste, os investimentos feitos pelo setor público buscam estimular o desenvolvimento regional em uma área propensa a secas e com graves problemas sociais. Essas diferentes abordagens têm resultado em consequências diversas. Dos 120 milhões de hectares (ha) potencialmente disponíveis para a agricultura, somente cerca de 3,5 milhões de hectares estão atualmente irrigados, embora as estimativas mostrem que 29 milhões desses hectares sejam adequados para essa prática.
