About Brazil
Although Brazil is a leading producer of coffee, soya beans, sugar, iron ore, bauxite and numerous industrial goods, almost one-quarter of Brazilians earn less than US$2 a day. Agriculture illustrates Brazil's uneven development, Land ownership remains very unequal, with most of the fertile land owned by a small percentage of landowners. As more land is used for export crops and livestock-raising, the production of basic foods is not keeping pace with population growth.
