Some could say it\u2019s a lot, but it\u2019s little compared to the total USD 334 billion. The same for the Northeast, which exported USD 27 billion,\u201d commented Viana in an interview with canal.gov, which is live streaming the debates of Amazon Dialogues, taking place in Par\u00e1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrazil nuts, for instance, are products that, like cereal bars, are available all year round. And that Brazil exports little because it no longer has [specific] policies to [encourage sales of] the product. Bolivia exports around USD 150 million in nuts. Brazil only achieves 10% of that. And while the Ivory Coast exports 2.2 million tonnes of cocoa, Brazil produces around 300,000 tonnes. Here, in the Amazon, USD 100 million in black pepper is exported. Vietnam exports USD 700 million,\u201d added Viana, a forestry engineer who governed Acre, his home state, for two terms, from 1999 to 2007.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Debate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Amazon Dialogues brings together, in Bel\u00e9m, the capital city of the Northern Brazilian state of Par\u00e1, thousands of representatives of organizations, social entities, universities, think tanks, research centers, and government agencies to discuss topics such as climate change, sustainability, and economic and social development in the Amazon.
