The article is a case study of Brazil in regards to the country’s export-led economic
growth, as a way of integrating the country’s economy through trade. Considering the world is
now more globalized than before, export-led economic growth has become more prevalent and a
determining factor for the growth of many countries. According to the author, this kind of
economic growth is helpful for Brazil and other countries alike as it improves commercial
volume, improves production activities, foreign exchange inflow, and fosters employment
opportunities. The article seeks to explore and describe the relationship between export-oriented
economic growth in Brazil. The author’s findings indicate that a bi-directional causality
connection is present in the country since the mid-1900s between export operations and
economic development in the long and short-run. This article is useful in the research as it
delineates the trade relations within Brazil and their contribution to the economy’s growth and
success.

The authors recognize the use of the agroindustry as collateral to be successful, but given
the conditions for food imports, small businesses in Brazil have had issues with the European
Union. The article thus seeks to make the obstacles and regulations to food shipment from Brazil
3
to Europe clear. It offers an assessment of the normative challenges, standards, and
internationalization procedures’ regulatory requirements. As such, the article documents
responses from small Brazilian businesses to better comprehend the challenges facing the sector.
Using interviews with other experts in the export field as well as tracking export operations of
minor food firms, the authors sought to understand the procedures and regulations associated
with the process. According to the article’s findings, the prerequisites for food export to Europe
from Brazil as well as the agreements among empirical and theoretical data on the obstacle and
challenges encountered throughout the export procedures are definite. Through this, we can
deduce the nature of export operations in Brazil as well as the trade relations between the country
and other nations in Europe and across the world.

Brazil, and the United States. USDA Economic Information Bulletin, 154.
This study compares farm-level costs of shipping, production, handling expenses,
and internal transportation expenses to a single export hub to examine the competitiveness of
exports of corn and soybeans in America, Brazil, and Argentina. To determine producer returns,
prices paid to farmers and typical yields for every crop in the above-mentioned nation are
examined. This mirrors the existing trade relations present in all nations and how these relations
impact their domestic and international operations. Data on production costs pertain to a decade
behind. The evaluation of per-bushel returns and costs takes into account 5-year mean prices
and yields – with the median being 2010–11 – in order to mitigate the effects of policy
and weather variables that impact prices and yields. The results of this study outline several
characteristics that determine the competitiveness of exports and production operations of the top
4
soybeans and corn exporters globally, as well as the effects that adjustments in these parameters
have. With these considerations, this article can be pivotal in describing the major export
commodities between America and Brazil and how these commodities impact trade relations and
operations domestically and internationally.

In order to ascertain Brazil’s lack of participation in the National Guards State Partnership
Program SPP, this research study examines the existing level of security coordination
between Brazil and America. The author contends that the kind of confidence-boosting move
required to overcome the present difficulties and put the nations on the route to deeper
collaboration is the creation of an SPP with Brazil. The article attempts to assess how the
program might be advantageous for both parties equally. Although not exhaustive, the author
examines the significant present or past collaborations, foreign policies, and history as well as
difficulties facing the two nations. Brazil is a significant nation in the contemporary multilateral
world and thus having productive relationships with Americans be beneficial. It is one of the
BRIC nations as well as the leading country in terms of development in fields like peacekeeping
missions, energy development, and trading activities. Given Brazil’s significance, the United
States should recognize Brazil and collaborate with it in mutually advantageous fields like trade
and security cooperation, which it could do much more of. Therefore, the article helps outline
how the associations between the two nations – both strategic and normal – can be mutually
beneficial to their economies.
