We are much larger. We will continue to control the prices of almost everything the world eats.

Brasil is Brazil!

“The disaster adds one more bend to the tortuous path that Brazilian agricultural products must take to global markets. Potholed roads, scarce rail transport and backed up ports already undercut margins of Brazilian sugar and grain producers and cause headaches for global commodity markets.”

Yes, Brasileiro, the ONLY way you affect the market is when you have a fortunate harvest or when you have a disaster.

Mr Market decides what happens to the market. We have had this post before but you didn't understand it then and I doubt you will understand it now.

Brazil cannot and will never control the market. Mr Market is all about supply and demand, if Brazil cannot supply, others will and make a little more profit. We, the consumers, will pay for Brazil’s failures and Brazil will pay by letting other market suppliers flourish instead of them. It was always thus.
