This is the GDP of Sorriso, a city in the midwestern state of Mato Grosso. The 13 greatest soy producers in the state are organizing themselves in order to export directly, in five years time, about 200,000 tons of soy. This is equivalent, in today's values, to an income of US$ 55 million per year. The city has the greatest soy productivity in the world, and a per capita income above the Brazilian average.

It almost makes me proud to be an American to know that Brasil is using the same succesful techniques as found in the US to produce a growing middle-class, in this case, the farmers here are using what we call a "Co Op" as a way to combine resources so that all will thrive.
Once again, great story and congratulations to a hard-working group who are enjoying the fruits of their labors.
