Brazil holds what the world needs

Brazil holds what the world needs. And gives it away for favors.

92% of the world's niobium. 88% renewable energy. The largest freshwater reserve on the planet. 188 million connected users. The world's largest exporter of soy, coffee and beef.

That is not potential. That is position.

And yet the decisions about these assets are not in the hands of those who produce, who build businesses, who absorb the cost of postponement.

It is not a lack of resources. It is not a lack of information. All these figures are public.

It is a lack of decision. And the cost has already started.
