Brazilian businesses have to seek the periphery for there is where the mass consumption is and where there are gaps.
If consumption comprises 70% of GDP, we look at how spending from these consumers results in income for Brazil’s workers.
Brazil works to feed, cloth, shelter and educate Brazilians. It is not an industral exporting country like Germany, China or Japan.
And that work, to provide for Brazilians, generate income for the population. If Brazil exports, is always a surplus.
Any time the economy grow, internal consumpton is prioritized by Brazilian exporters who then focus on the internal market.
Brazil is a trade pigmy. Brazil is more like the United States than European or Asian country.
The periphery, is the suburbs, mixed-use or residential area, existing either as part of a city or urban area or as a separate residential community within commuting distance of a city. Commuting mostly doen by train.
Usually people go to the perphery to sleep and return to work in the city next morning. This created huge metropolitan areas, which are now joined: suburn and major city. This conurbation i s an extended urban area, typically consisting of several towns merging with the suburbs of a central city.
Just returned from a trip to Brazil:
