According to Brazil Economy and Agriculture, “Brazil is considered to become the future farm of the planet” This suggests that Brazil has a lot of land to grow crops that can be exported to a lot of countries. If this happens Brazil will become very rich and there economy will increase a lot. If their economy increase Brazil can use that money to provide the people of Brazil with more opportunities and a better country. On the other hand, agriculture has a negative impact on deforestation in Brazil. According to Climate Home, “Brazil is under intense pressure to convert the Amazon forests to produce crops and provide pasture for cattle. This means that if Brazil keeps on expanding their agricultural land, it’s going to affect the trees and it’s going to cause even more deforestation in the area of Brazil. To expand their agricultural land they need to cut the trees from the forest and clean everything so that they can start growing crops.They also are going to need a good amount of land for cattle. Also According to Agricultural Importance in Brazil, “Brazil has steadily increased its agricultural output to become the world’s third largest agricultural exporter accounting for some 9% of global total exports”. This suggests that due to Brazil exporting a lot of goods to other countries have made their economy increase & it’s now the world’s largest agricultural exporter. Which means that Brazil

    “Swallowing Rain Forest, Cities Surge in Amazon” by Simon Romero, published in New York Times on November 24 2012, argues that the impact of increase of population has caused deforestation. Romero’s ideas that Brazil has increased population has caused deforestation, energy projects bring in more people due to increase of jobs and an iron ore mine has also created more jobs are important points; his ideas that migrants moving to the jungle will repair jungle, birthrate has gone down in Brazil and 2 houses are built every hour are less useful because people moving in will cause more deforestation, the birthrate should be a little less but not will not decrease dramatically and houses can’t be built that quickly. I think this is a worthy article because it relates to Manaus and how in the State of Wonder the population has increased.…

    Up to the present time, Brazil’s economy keeps on growing at a high pace, and globalization has a significant part behind this. Globalization allowed Brazil to be noticed as a serious competitor in the trade market. It allowed them to reach many parts of the world thus increasing the number of buyers and expanding their economy. However, not only have they expanded on their capital intake, they also learned restrictions of trade flows which act as limitations to accessing the market. Brazil is now introduced to new markets and new marketing strategies which allow them to gain knowledge and access to new technology, products, skills, and cheaper ways of production.…

Increased competition from globalization helps stimulate innovation (to products or services), which helps improve a better lifestyle globally.…

    One of them is direct regulation, which would place restrictions on road expansion and establish protected areas. The government should also try to work with cattle ranchers and ways to increase efficiency and decrease waste. As Brazil is looking to hydroelectric dams as a new form of energy, there should also be scientific research done before their inauguration, to find dam locations that will cause the least harm to the environment. Brazil should also put more into practice PES contracts, payment for ecosystem services, as studies of programs in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Brazil has shown it can halve deforestation rates. Though deforestation seems a big issue to tackle, there are many solutions to tackling it; it’s just our job to figure out which solutions prove efficient and which prove faulty.…

It would also the affect the people that comes to various countries to found work. Detailed analysis of the statistics of merchandise trade between Brazil and the United States reveals extensive underpricing of exports and overpricing of imports, which has the effect of transferring substantial amounts of money out of Brazil and into the United States (John Zdanowicz, 2010). Brazil would have a great issue if they don’t trade with other countries because they don’t have resources from other countries, but export cost will be more expensive.

    Sugar In Brazil Case Study

    This affects the American economy directly, as the company introduces the product into the country. The sugar is then inspected and potentially packaged here, before being shipped to supermarket corporations, an example for this case being a Wal-Mart in Texas. In this step the American workers/drivers then ship the sugar to the corporation and then they distribute the sugar to stores where they are sold to the consumer, for instance consumers here in Austin buying from the aforementioned Wal-Mart. This is important because the sugar tariff and quotas on American imports of sugar mean that Brazil can only ship so much to the USA, so growth in the US market, the second biggest, is limited to what the quotas decide. It is also notable that this import allows cheaper sugar and therefore cheaper food for Americans.…
