BRASILIA: Brazil is a major exporter of commodities, including iron ore and food items such as soybeans and beef. Vale (VALE), Gerdau (GGB), and Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (SID) are popular iron ore exporters in Brazil. BRF (BRFS) and JBS (JBSAY) count among the top food and meat producers.
Falling agricultural and mineral commodity prices have dampened export revenues for Brazilian exporters, also weighing down the trade balance of the economy.
