Brazil's industry has evolved. It is a country of agriculture because of its high agricultural activities. More than half of the cultivated land is food products but cannot meet domestic consumption and therefore imports some of the food need from outside. One of the most important features of Brazil; is the world's largest coffee producer and exporter. The coffee produced only meets the needs of the countries in the Americas. Cotton production in the country has also improved. Although it exports a small portion of sugarcane and cocoa, most of them use their own people. Lumber trees, rice, green beans, cotton, coffee, sugarcane, cocoa and corn are the main products of the country. In some places a small amount of oranges, bananas, peanuts, tobacco, fiber and some vegetables are grown. Forestry and fishing are common. Brazil, is the world's leading cattle breeding.
