The surplus of the Brazilian trade balance falls in March

The surplus of the Brazilian trade balance dropped from US$ 6.24 billion in March 2017 to US$ 4.99 billion in March 2019. This is the worst result for the month of March since 2016.

This drop of 22.3% is linked to the crisis in Argentina, Brazil's main trading partner in South America and a major buyer of Brazilian manufactured goods.

Some of the Brazilian products hit hardest by the fall in March are cargo vehicles (68.2%), passenger cars (41.4%) and auto parts (31.4%).

The Brazilian surplus of March 2019 is a result of US $ 18.120 billion in exports and US$ 13.130 billion in imports.

The product most exported by Brazil in the period was raw cotton, which had a 123.6% increase in exports.
