Stagnation or opportunity?
Brazil nut, being an exotic product, has great prospects in the global market. Despite the temporary stagnation of the global market, a number of positive aspects can be noted that contribute to its development. Among them are an increase in the percentage of peeling in Brazil nuts producing countries, diversification of both producer and importing countries, the promotion of healthy nutrition among the population, and urbanization processes. Among the constraints can be noted the political and economic crisis in the world, inhibiting investment in the industry, and affecting the purchasing power of the population.
