Brazil: The host of PTX South America and beating heart of the region
Just a few of the stunning facts that are propelling Brazil into one of the largest users and producers of powders and solid bulks in the world.
- In 2009 The Brazilian mining industry invested US$28 Billion in capital equipment, it produced US$ 40 billion of minerals which driven by demand in China was up a staggering 67% over the previous year.
- The Brazilian government has focused a large part of its economic development programme in agriculture. In 2010, 68 million tonnes of soya beans were grown to be processed into bio-fuels. The country processed 176,000 tonnes of the beans every single day.
- Brazil is the 4th largest consumer of fertilisers in the world. Such is the speed of it’s agricultural development that the government has mandated it must be self-sufficient in fertilisers during the next 5 years. Local production needs to double to reach this target.
Brazil processed food worth a staggering US$173 billion in 2010.
