By 1995, US exports reached $153 million, making Brazil the number eight market for US horticultural products. While U.S. exports of horticultural products have slowed due to a cooling of the Brazilian economy and a strengthening U.S. dollar, U.S. exports still topped $91 million in 1998 (see charts on page 22). While beer and hops are still large, albeit declining, components of that trade, fresh fruits, nuts and frozen vegetables have become big ticket items. Fresh fruits, especially apples, grapes, pears, and stone fruit lead the export boom. Dried fruit, french fries, walnuts, almonds... have seen increases in exports.

The North region covers 45.27% of the surface of Brazil, and has the lowest number of inhabitants. With the exception of Manaus, which hosts a tax-free industrial zone, and Belém, the biggest metropolitan area of the region, it is fairly unindustrialized and undeveloped. It accommodates most of the rainforest vegetation of the world and many indigenous tribes.
