Brazil, an agricultural powerhouse, is facing a paradoxical crisis where despite harvesting bumper crops, growers are going bankrupt at an alarming rate. This situation is attributed to the cyclical nature of agriculture and the challenges of layering debt on a $7 billion farm-credit boom, which has led to a significant number of growers facing financial difficulties. The Brazilian government, recognizing the severity of the crisis, is preparing a rescue package aimed at farmers in default and agricultural companies struggling with delinquency, with the BNDES offering extra credit. This comes amid falling corn and soybean prices, which have exacerbated the financial strain on the sector. Additionally, Brazil's agriculture is now almost single-handedly supporting the nation's economy, raising concerns about its sustainability in the face of extreme climate conditions.
