Considerations for the Commercialization of Embrapa’sVirus Resistant Common Bean (Embrapa 5.1)
Overview on the common bean crop in Brazil
Brief history of the Embrapa 5.1 technology
Stewardship Program
Post‐approval field trials for cultivar registration
Seed production (breeders seed, pre-basic and basic seed)
Technical perspectives on commercial release
Outline
Dry Beans ‐ Brazil
Brazil is the second largest producer of dry beans in the world after India
Production in 2011 was estimated at 3.43 million tonnes (US$ 1.98 billion)

Some Embrapa’s common bean cultivars
• Losses in grain production may range from 40 to 100% / 90‐to‐280,000 tonnes per year.• Annual losses would be enough to feed from six to 20 million of adult Brazilians.• At least 200,000 ha became impractical for bean growth in Brazil due to the BGMV; about 10% of the total common bean growing area.
BGMV ‐ Bean Golden Mosaic Virus
Deformation of pods and grains
BGMV ‐ Bean Golden Mosaic Virus
This geminivirus is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci)

Ponta Grossa, PR, Brazil – December 2012
Santo Antônio de Goiás, GO, Brazil ‐ August 2013
Seed Production is on Schedule(breeders and pre‐basic seed)
Technical target for the commercial release: 2015/2016 ‐ 50,000 ha (25%)
Handle large growing areas for agronomic performance observation and certified seed production following the Stewardship Program is
challenging…
We’re still working on the business plan for the Embrapa 5.1 technology...
