Brazil

            The geographical features of Brazil affect many aspects of economy and agriculture. The varied climate, landforms, and vegetation provide for an ecosystem allowing rich farming, gathering and lumbering. .
             Climate plays a major role in agriculture and economy. The Amazon Basin, in the north, generally has high humidity as well as high temperatures throughout most of the year. Its rainfall averages about 80 inches (2,000 mm) annually. The coast of northeast Brazil has a tropical humid climate, with a winter rainy season (May to October). Inland is a drought-ridden area called the sertao. Most of central Brazil, with the exception of the Amazon, has a summer rainy season (November to April) and generally mild or even cool weather during the rest of the year. .
             In general there are two broad categories of landforms in Brazil: (1) the wide lowlands of the Amazon River basin in the north, and the Brazilian Highlands in the east and the Guiana Highlands in the north. The two vast river systems occupy a continuous broad lowland that separates the two highland areas. The river provides natural irrigation for tree plantations and fruits. Also fishing plays a major role because it is easy catch and very abundant meaning a very strong fish market in the economy. .
             While farm workers are still nearly twice as numerous as industrial workers, the value of the products of manufacturing now greatly exceeds that of agricultural commodities. This development is not surprising, since most Brazilian farming outside the export sector is carried on by methods that are undeveloped in terms of modern technology and efficient production. Industrial workers, on the other hand, have greater access to modern tools and techniques that enable them to turn out superior products. The economy trading wise has dropped due to lack of technology but is still alive due to the natural resources making it easier to provide vitalities to the farms and plantations.
