A exportação brasileira de bens primários: a dependência do brasil do mercado chinês para o envio de carne bovina

Abstract

This article aims to analyze Brazil's dependence on the Chinese market for beef exports, considering China's significant role as a destination for Brazilian exports since the 2000s, particularly following the impacts of the 2007 subprime crisis. The main issue to be assessed is to understand the reasons, timing, and extent of Brazil's beef export dependence on China. To develop this study, a literature review was conducted, covering different theories of international trade, as well as an empirical analysis through the use of graphs. The main findings indicate that the Brazilian market has taken advantage of the financial gains arising from China's demand for beef. Additionally, a close partnership between the two countries was identified, which has led to a potential current dependence—one that may yield trade benefits for both nations, despite the associated risks.
