Chuzz,..Re:.The US as a whole sells 20% of its
exports to Brazil,
Chuzz, Brazil is pretty far down the list of our export
sales, but they are among the fastest growing purchasers.
See the following payments from exports and notice that Canada, Mexico and
Japan and Europe far exceed SA. A NY Times article
also quoted the 20% this morning but it's off
by about 10. Data source =http://www.bea.doc.gov/bea/newsrel/trad1098.htm
