Brazil not only has the physical base and the sort of land necessary to produce huge amounts of food, but it also possesses the entrepreneurial spirit, since it is home to more than 6 million agricultural businesses. Over the course of the last ten years, Brazil has emerged as a leading provider of a wide variety of agricultural goods, including sugar cane, cattle, and soy beans. Sugarcane is grown on about 24 million hectares of land in Brazil, making the country the greatest producer of sugarcane in the world. Brazil produces 720 million tons of sugarcane every year, which accounts for almost half of the world’s total output of 1.7 billion tonnes of sugar. It is noteworthy to note that if all of Brazil’s sugarcane were to be processed into fuel ethanol, the country’s yearly supply would be sufficient to fill 64 million automobiles. a portion of this post may be found at http://www.agjobstoday.com/blog/?p=100 .
