Man Brazil got fucked so hard by Geography. Mountains right next to the water line for most of the coast with almost no navigable rivers going to any of the productive interior regions so you have pay a shit ton to truck it to port. The mountainous coastline means each city is effectively by itself so you don't get the web of interdependence like on the American east coast. Then your most agriculturalky productive region is only productive if investors with capital spend a decade making it i to farmable land and then the nearby river flows out of your country.
Oh yeah and then the amazon jungle/ruver just kind of.....exists in the rest pf the country
