High Agricultural Productivity Will Keep Brazil’s Trade Balance Strong in Coming Years, Says Economist

Study indicates that the increase in productivity of the agricultural sector is expected to boost Brazil’s trade balance surplus to US$ 95 billion in 2023, a value 50% higher than the previous record. Brazil led global agricultural productivity among 187 countries, particularly due to the greater increase in agricultural activity and the approval of tax reform. In addition, there was an increase in the imported volume of capital goods related to the agricultural sector. Factors contributing to the productivity increase included reforms in the research and financing systems, investments in research, biological nitrogen fixation, adoption of direct planting, and maintenance of integrated systems. However, the year 2024 may show a slight reduction in the trade balance surplus due to a smaller agricultural harvest. Besides the agricultural sector, oil production also stands out as one of the drivers of the trade balance.

Oil production in Brazil has been showing growth in recent years and is expected to continue boosting the trade balance. The commodity’s production in Brazil grew by 20% over the past seven years, with a projected increase of 80% in production for the next seven years. The explanation for the growth in oil production lies in the increase in export volume and the reduction in imports driven by prices, attributed to the exploration of the commodity in the pre-salt layer. Considering the production curve expected by EPE, Brazil is set to join the group of the five largest oil exporters in the world by the end of the decade, potentially increasing government revenue through the production sharing regime.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Air bubbles from 3 million years ago extracted from Antarctic ice reveal that the current level of CO₂ has already surpassed that of the ancient, warm world, when the sea was up to 20 meters higher and there were no factories or cars burning fuel.

Brazil went to China to seek money and technology to reinvent TV and bring the internet to places where fiber does not reach. The mission negotiated with the BRICS Bank led by Dilma and paved the way for a Chinese rival of Starlink to connect the Amazon.

About 150 workers are driving, one by one, 4,585 BYD electric cars off a 220-meter ship at the Port of Itajaí. The 48-hour mega-operation is the largest shipment from the Chinese automaker in Santa Catarina this year.

Iceland is going to lower a drill five kilometers to reach rock at 400 degrees and try to extract clean energy on a scale that a common well cannot achieve.
