I am not from south America, but had the luck of being able to listen to a lecture of a professor from brasil and he talked about how farming works in brasil and what consequences it has. I am not sure how much stuff you can find in English, but his name is Antonio Androlio.
Im actually brasillian haha and financially those taxes do help, had to study that a lot for the university entrance exams here. Would it help more if was another industry? Yes, big farmers hardly spread their profits to other areas. Does it suck for the enviroment? Yes, I wish we would move to other ways to make money. But its still helpful, we don’t really export much else besides that and iron ore.
As a brasillian its the exact same thing here sadly. With tariffs our meat exports got crippled badly so I expected to have a lot of high quality cheap meat at the market but… Yup, the producers prefer not to lose their product than to sell domestically and bring down the prices, fuck those guys
Big thanks from Brasil. Our soy exports are up like 30%
Corn and soy are about the only agricultural products that aren’t extremely scarce this year…
Guess what the US exports instead of buying from Brasil? Nature wants them to fail too.
Honestly you’re welcome. I’m glad someone is benefiting from this absolute shit show.
Sadly its not the people of brasil profiting, but massive farms with millions of hectares.
Mostly rich farmers though we still get indirect profits from taxes
Yeah, but I doubt, that the benefits the taxes bring outweigh the damage the farming does to the civilians and the local ecosystem
Are you from here or have some info you want to share?

I just wish I could find soy milk in the supermarket. I hate that we don’t prioritize our internal market first.
