Brazil has the ninth largest GDP in the world, the sixth largest population, and the fifth largest area. Its per capita income in 1987 was US$224 l, slightly above Mexico but below Argentina, South Korea, and Taiwan. The country is well endowed with natural resources, has a productive agriculture sector, and a mature and diversified industrial base. Manufacturing value-added in 1987 was US$79 billion, the ninth largest in the world, about 15% larger than that of Canada, two times that of Mexico or Korea, and almost three times that of Australia.
