This paper analyses the Brazilian agricultural growth since January 1999, when a new exchange rate policy was adopted by the country. The analysis focuses on the behavior of the exchange rate and international commodity prices throughout the period 1999-2004. It is also analysed the behavior of cropped area in this recent period, with the conclusion that there has been a fast increase in area planted with grains in the agricultural years 2001/2002, 2002/2003 and 2003/2004, due almost entirely to the growth of soybeans area. The paper proposes that this expansion of area planted with soybeans was based preponderantly on the conversion of pastures. It is also suggested that expansion of soybeans should not be seen as antagonistic to the environmental policy, specially in what respects the protection of the Amazon forest. Este trabalho analisa o crescimento agricola brasileiro apos a mudanca da politica cambial, em janeiro de 1999. Toma como base, para isso, o comportamento da taxa de câmbio e dos precos internacionais das commodities ao longo do periodo 1999- 2004. Discute, tambem, o comportamento da area cultivada nesse periodo recente, mostrando que ocorreu um aumento muito grande da area plantada com graos nos anos agricolas 2001/2002, 2002/2003 e 2003/2004, em grande parte devido a expansao da soja. O trabalho propoe que essa expansao tao rapida da area plantada com soja se deu preponderantemente com base em conversao de pastagens. Sugere, ainda, que a expansao da soja nao deve ser vista como antagonica a politica ambiental, especialmente no que se refere a protecao da floresta amazonica.
