Agricultural Products Brazil Depends on Importing:
Wheat: Brazil imports a significant amount of wheat to meet domestic demand, as the country's wheat production is not sufficient to fulfill its needs. Argentina, the United States, and Canada are among the top wheat suppliers to Brazil.
Corn: Despite being a leading producer of corn, Brazil also imports corn to meet demand from the livestock industry and for human consumption. The United States is a major supplier of corn to Brazil.
