When analysing Brazil, it is paramount to consider each region’s potential. Brazil has continental dimensions and about 8.5 million hectares. The geographical spread of the country means it has several different climates. An equatorial climate in the extreme north, a subtropical climate in the south, and a tropical climate in other regions. Such diversity is reflected in its soil, which consists mainly of plateaus and plains, and an abundant supply of water. All this offers a myriad of conditions to agricultural production.
