You said you cannot vent an opinion on Brazil as you do not know what is going on there else you expose your ignorance about same.

Brazil is a trade pigmy. Depends very little on trade.
Given Brazil’s population of 204.3 million people, its total $191.1 billion in 2015 exports translates to roughly $936 for every resident in that country.

The country is driven by the internal market.

The following export product groups represent the highest dollar value in Brazilian global shipments during 2015. Also shown is the percentage share each export category represents in terms of overall exports from Brazil.

  1. Oil seed: US$21.2 billion (11.1% of total exports)
  2. Ores, slag, ash: $16.7 billion (8.7%)
  3. Oil: $13.7 billion (7.2%)Meat: $13.1 billion (6.8%)
  4. Machines, engines, pumps: $11.4 billion (5.9%)
  5. Vehicles: $9.6 billion (5%)
  6. Iron and steel: $8.9 billion (4.7%)
  7. Sugar: $7.8 billion (4.1%)
  8. Food waste, animal fodder: $6.2 billion (3.2%)
  9. Coffee, tea and spices: $6 billion (3.2%)
