In Brazil,  contrary to the downward trend of such industries as transformation, logistics,  construction, oil & gas and renewable energy, the agricultural sector is expected to have a 15% increase in turnover in 2017. What’s more the agriculture is responsible for a start of recovery of the segment as a whole.
