Pangola grass - originally from South Africa - is now

Pangola grass - originally from South Africa - is now the big thing in central Brazil. Introduced a few years ago by American foreign aid technicians working under the Alliance for Progress, this remarkable new strain of Pangola grass has been responsible for increasing beef production 2 1/2 to 3 times per acre as compared to the common Bahia grass. The implications for a country like Brazil where food production is slagging behind population growth are clear.
