Can a new commodities boom revive Brazil?
Roughly every other glass of orange juice drunk around the world comes from the orchards of São Paulo state, boasts Duarte Nogueira.
“We have everything beginning with the letter ‘C’,” says the mayor of Ribeirão Preto, a city four hours inland from the state capital, before reeling off the Portuguese names of produce cultivated in the region.
“Coffee, sugarcane
(cana), citruses, meat
(carne) and cellulose”, the main ingredient for paper. “Agriculture is growing more and more and it is not only a virtue of our region, but of Brazil.”
The South American nation is now one of the world’s top producers of foodstuffs from soyabeans to sugar and beef to bananas. Blessed with an abundance of natural wealth, like vast iron ore deposits and deep sea oil reserves, Brazil also supplies some of the most important raw materials for modern economies.

CASPER, Wyo. The University of Wyoming Board of Trustees will be considering a proposal that aims to slash over $13 million in annual expenditures, UW announced Tuesday.
That could mean eliminating up to 75 faculty and other staff positions, including up to ten department heads. UW President Ed Seidel’s administration is also proposing eliminating and restructuring multiple programs.
“Programs that are not discontinued or reorganized, including UW-Casper, would receive a 3 percent budget reduction,” UW says.
BRAZIL CORN WATCH: Export sluggish on tight supply amid rising spot prices
Corn exports from Brazil have remained slow so far in July as harvesting delays and a smaller crop yield in 2020-21 turned suppliers cautious about making new sales.
Brazil corn exports during the first 12 business days of July stood at 523,906 mt, at a daily rate of 43,659 mt, against a daily rate of 173,010 mt in the whole of July 2020, customs department data showed.
Producers continue to limit the supply of corn in the spot market and prioritize deliveries of lots negotiated in advance, the Brazil-based Center for Advanced Studies on Applied Economics (CEPEA) said in a note.
