Brazil, one of the premier agricultural producing and exporting countries of the world, is both a competitor of the United States in agricultural trade (soybeans and products, poultry meat) and a supplier to the United States of important agricultural products (coffee, orange juice). ERS economists provide data and analysis on Brazil's agricultural supply, consumption, trade, and policies.
