the agricultural agribusiness in the Brazilian economy for the period from 1995 to 2003. Using input-output models it was possible to estimate the

agribusiness come from the agricultural production done by the familiar
agriculture, it was also noticed that the recent development of the familiar
agriculture and of its links has been very positive, suppressing, the growth
rates found in the non-familiar segment.
