Abstract

Brazil has experienced a great boom in the production of soybean. Since the
1960s, the country was capable of diversifying its export matrix, including exports of soybean
and its oil, orange juice, and meat. However, the 1982-3 crisis decreased the capacity of
the State to support the agricultural sector. This paper aims to analyze the impact of the new
financial condition on the production costs of the sector.
