Impact Of International Politics On Brazil-Canada Trade
The international political and economic landscape also directly affects trade between Brazil and Canada.
The instability in some regions of the world, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, has generated impacts on the market for fertilizers and nutrients, for example.
These changes require both countries to adapt and seek new alternatives to maintain the growth of bilateral trade.
