Brazil does not have direct access to the rivers of the Rio de la Plata region. The River Plate itself empties into the Atlantic in Argentina, meaning that for centuries traders have moved their goods down to Buenos Aires rather than carry them up and down the Grand Escarpment to get to Brazil’s underdeveloped ports. Brazil’s seven largest ports combined can handle fewer goods per year than the single port of New Orleans. Therefore, Brazil lacks the volume of trade it would like and most of its goods are moved along its inadequate roads rather than by river, thus increasing costs. Brazil will require a herculean effort to overcome its geographical disadvantages. — Tim Marshall
