The main leader of Brazil's Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST), João
Pedro Stédile, defends the need for the Brazilian agrarian policy to prioritize
income distribution. The MST considers classical land reform finished off and is
proposing a new type of reform to the government. They believe the current
model, which has been coopted by the Brazilian elite, is dominated by
international financial capital. My Premium Content

And you are begging for MORE International financial capital.
Developed nations are not pushing Brazil to produce more and more ethanol, but Brazil is pushing developed nations to buy more and more of Brazilian ethanol/sugar and whatever agricultural products ....generating very low income to 99 % of the 5 millions Brazilians farmers ! Quite a difference !
And developed nations have trade barriers, imports quotas and taxes, because developing nations such as Brazil have FAR HIGHER trade barriers, imports quotas and taxes than developed nations !
Fair Reciprocity would dictate that either you put similar barriers/taxes on what we (could) export to you or that WE (could) put YOUR trade barriers penalties in our imports...but on different products such as cars/trucks/tractors/harvedters/Indudstria goods and financial servicesl !!!!!
May be Brazil and developed nations should create a new WTO....called OWTO.....One Way Trade Only !!!!
