Is Brazil not just an exporter of soybeans? In fact, we bought 166 billion oil from them
Do you understand? Brazil is not only a good partner for us, but also a good supplier for us. We import a large number of oil, soybeans, iron ore, corn and other products from Brazil, which are necessary for the development of our country. Without them, our production and life would be difficult. In fiscal 2021, we purchased nearly 700 billion yuan of goods from Brazil, a record high. Would you like to learn more about it? Among them, 166 billion, soybeans 299 billion, iron ore 203 billion, and grain 29 billion. Are you surprised by this statistic?
Brazil is our main ** partner, and we import a large number of goods from Brazil, mainly including **, soybeans, iron ore, corn and other four products.
These four categories of products have played a great role in supporting the economic development of our country. Take ** as the basic energy, soybeans as the main raw materials, oil as the main raw materials, iron ore as the main raw materials, grains as the main raw materials, grains as the main raw materials, and grains as the main production objects. We introduced the above products from Brazil to solve the needs of domestic people's livelihood and industry, and are related to the needs of national energy security, food safety, and industrial development.
However, there is an imbalance between China and Brazil. Most of Brazil's exports to China are raw materials, while Brazil is dominated by high value-added products such as mechanical and electrical products, chemical products, and textiles. As a result, we have more ** surpluses with Brazil, and Brazil has become more dissatisfied as a result.
Changes in the world** will also have a certain impact on the prices of Brazilian products, sometimes high, sometimes low. This will cause problems for our import fees and planning. For example, in 2021, Brazil's soybeans grew by nearly 40% of the global market**, which led to a significant increase in our import bill. There is also the plague in Brazil, and there are problems with transportation, which has led to the loss of iron ore in Brazil, which has had a big impact on our exports.
We import a lot of iron ore from Brazil and produce a lot of steel, and our own industrial profitability is very low, less than 1%. This shows that China's steel industry has not yet reached the level of high-quality development, and it is in urgent need of structural adjustment and upgrading.
When the world financial turmoil swept in, our company went against the market and maintained a stable momentum of development. With its leading production technology, rigorous manufacturing technology, and selected excellent steel and parts, domestic car companies have produced various models to meet the needs of Europe, the United States and Africa, and have been well received by consumers at home and abroad. It is said that the export of domestic automobiles is a very profitable industry, and 500 million of the 10 billion is pure profit. In this context, it is really commendable to achieve such brilliant results.
We do not have only one industry in China, but also one industry in the world, which is the plastic industry. Although we are the world's largest consumer, we not only use it, but also can process it into various plastic products and export them to the world, which greatly promotes our economic development.
You may not know that many of the plastic products we use in our daily life are actually made in our country, such as basins, dishes, plastic forks and the like. Don't look at this kind of thing as inconspicuous, in fact, it contains huge benefits and has a huge market demand. At present, the export volume of domestic plastic products has increased year by year, and has now exceeded 100 billion US dollars, accounting for about 40% of the world's plastic products.
Brazil is rich in natural resources such as minerals, oil, timber, coffee, soybeans, etc. Brazil's wealth is Brazil's largest income**, and it is also the country's largest export**. Brazil's biggest buyer is China, which buys large quantities of iron ore, oil, soybeans and other commodities from Brazil. Through the aforementioned goods, Brazil earns a large amount of foreign currency, thus making it richer.
However, it will not be easy for Brazil to sell this commodity, as they need to compete with energy giants such as Australia, Saudi Arabia, the United States, Russia, Argentina, etc. Moreover, the value of such items will also change according to external circumstances, such as economic conditions, human factors, etc. Sometimes Brazil can make a lot of money with such a commodity, while in Brazil it is a loss-making, or even a small part. This makes Brazil's economy both unstable and unsustainable, sometimes uneven.
Brazil exports 50 percent of its total exports, with the largest amount of iron ore, oil, soybeans, etc. This makes Brazilian products both lack diversification and added value. Brazil is also too dependent on the Chinese market for sales, and if China changes, there will be a significant impact on Brazilian exports. The goods of Brazil ** do not use it all, they only provide raw materials, that is, some goods that have been simply processed, and they do not develop better goods, they do not develop better goods, which makes them lose more profits and lose more creativity.
Whether a country is strong or not depends not on the resources it has, but on how it develops its potential, how it generates more value, and how it enhances its competitiveness. For example, Germany and Japan, both of which are in the case of lack of materials, rely on exquisite manufacturing technology, and high-tech innovation to create the world's most well-known and popular models.
The profits they make from abroad even exceed what Brazil earns from importing raw materials. This shows that only through sustained reform and reform can we make better use of these resources and make due contributions to the prosperity of the motherland and the well-being of the people.
