Export-heavy partner mix
Brazil in the heavy-trade third
Exports are 92% of total ag trade for Brazil, an upper-third export share among FAO partners in this extract.
Cumulative 2018-2023 ag trade for Brazil reached $633.0B, a heavy-third book where US duty shifts on its headline commodities move real volume. Leading export: Soya beans; leading import: Wheat. US MFN duties follow the product's HTS classification, not origin; on a heavy book, map each Brazil-origin shipment to the exact 8- or 10-digit subheading before quoting landed cost.
