New highway in clogged-Brazil opens more possibilities for grain exports
A highway, decades in the making, will finally open in Brazil offering a shortcut through the Amazon jungle to north-eastern waterways for the growing corn and soybean trade. The BR-163 highway connecting Mato Grosso state's soy belt to two key river ports will boost grain exports by some 3 million tons next year, offering a bit of relief to congested ports in the southeast, where most shipments originate.

Sao Paulo Sandwich, coke, fries and proveleta......220 rael.....$102.........is everything that expensive brassiela?
Oct 18th, 2013 - 12:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0What? You have to speak through the mouth, Popeye. For you to be intelligible missing much. Alright. I think I'm asking too much.
Oct 18th, 2013 - 12:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Captain poopy, I suggest you travel a bit more when you get your passport and can afford a ticket, which you can't. So yes, it seems Brazil is expensive for you, poor boy. I also suggest you study a map, because brassiela doesn't exist or I guess your government school has failed you. Anyway, A Sao Paulo Mortadella (bigger sandwich even compare to here in the US) fries and with a beer or a guarana (brazilians aren't real coke drinkers, though they real sugar in it and not that cheap crap high fructose corn syrup as they use in the US and Europe), you can get under US$20, which is still to much for you.

Oct 18th, 2013 - 12:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just like the M1.....NOT!
Why does Brazil IMPORT machinery, electrical and transport equipment, chemical products, oil, automotive parts, electronics to the value of US$238.8 billion?
@4 Mortadella? Isn't that Italian? Let's see; half a pound of mortadella Italian sausage, Provolone Italian cheese, sourdough bread, (French?) mayonnaise and French Dijon mustard. Don't you have anything “Brazilian”?
1 Brasileiro, you'd might be surprised to know neither Cargill or Bunge are Brazilian companies.
Oct 18th, 2013 - 03:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Also Soy is dropping like a rock and may soon become unprofitable at the current exchange rate.

9. Yeah that is what I thought, you are too stupid to know that most of your economy is OWNED by Int'l Companies MAINLY from USA, UK EU.
Oct 18th, 2013 - 04:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0retard
Like most of SA, Brazil couldn't survive in its current state without USA, UK, EU $ and talent.

Oct 18th, 2013 - 06:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Only 14% of our economy is in the hands of multinationals. In the U.S. what is the number?
hahaha ...... I bet that exceeds 30%.
I hope that your business will continue generating jobs and income in Brazil. If not, others come and take their place.
I have no doubt. You are a complete idiot!
What use is a port, if you can not get your produce to it?

13 Brasileiro much like your half-witted Rg alter ego, Toby,you post fantasy with no back up.
Oct 19th, 2013 - 11:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0Tell me, what will happen when Soy is around $400/ton in 2014? And The EU preferential import allowance is gone?
@16
Oct 19th, 2013 - 11:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0USA and EU are not important for us.
They should have increased their rates since 1900.
17. The bulk of the world's economy is not important to you?
Oct 19th, 2013 - 12:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No human is that stupid.
Are you a monkey who can type?
Most of our trade is in South America, Asia and Africa.
Oct 19th, 2013 - 12:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Remember, every action brings a reaction. Increasing rates of them will have a reaction for our part.
So you'd prefer to trade with countries that MUST offer you less for your products than the richest countries in the world?
Oct 19th, 2013 - 12:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Does that make sense to you?
Do you think the Rial will be over or under 3/1 by eoy 2014?
We want to negotiate with the world. Not are we going to raise rates. They are!
Oct 19th, 2013 - 12:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are not raising rates you just have to play by the same rules as other countries of your size.
Oct 19th, 2013 - 01:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What's the problem?
You didn't answer my Rial question.
The more the dollar appreciates, the more I gain money exporting. What do you think I prefer?
Oct 19th, 2013 - 01:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0For the economy in general, I would say 2.50 / 1 is a good number to our competitiveness.
23. You do realize that the more the Rial depreciates the more inflation you have so it is unsustainable.
Oct 19th, 2013 - 01:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just look to Venezuela's mess.
You can not depreciate your way to prosperity.
Remember that our foreign trade (imports / exports) only represents 17% of our GDP. Therefore, the inflation effect is minimal.
Oct 19th, 2013 - 01:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When I say that we are self-sufficient is true!
Well that is odd, by all accounts you export commodities and import finished goods.
Oct 19th, 2013 - 02:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Major exports: Iron ores and concentrates (15%), Petroleum oils, crude (8%), Raw sugar, cane (6%), Soya beans (5%), Poultry (3%)
Major imports: Cars (6%), Petroleum oils, refined (5%), Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles (4%), Electronic integrated circuits (3%), Medicaments, packaged (2%)
I wonder how you can be self sufficient with that..
Do you have any links to back up what you are saying or do you just make it up as you go along?
Seems very much like I am responding to Brazilian Toby. You don't seem to know much about “your” country at all.
The things that are imported products such as umbrellas, blenders, mixers, machines photograph .......da China! cheap labor! On the day come expensive, we manufacture here.
Oct 19th, 2013 - 02:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps you are too arrogant thinking that we need you for something!

You did not know that we have an automotive agreement with Argentina?
@29 But argieland only assembles parts produced elsewhere? Do you check that cars have 4 wheels outside and 1 inside? Mind you, given your “roads”, does it matter?
