The U.S. Role in Promoting Increased Production

Earl Richard Downes ()

Chapter Chapter 6 in Brazilian Agricultural Development, 1890–1950, 2025, pp 81-113 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Increasing and diversifying Brazil’s agricultural production required intense interaction between elites promoting state and regional interests exercised through a newly activist federal government and special-focus interest groups. Institutional revitalization facilitated increased production of a variety of raw materials, including beans, rice, pork, cacao, lumber, tobacco, wheat, and others. Illustrative of the mechanics of the diversification movement are the campaigns to stir production of three specific commodities—cotton, corn, cattle, and beef. The national experience regarding these products between 1914 and 1919 portrays the complexity of that interaction as well as the increasing dependence on U.S. ties to make diversification a reality.
