MACRON AND BRAZILIAN AMAZON RAINFOREST
Macron's onslaught on behalf of the EU against the
Amazon rainforest and Brazil's environmental policy, making it believe that the
forest is being distressed by agribusiness and cattle ranching in a
disrespectful disregard for global environmental laws, translate rhetoric,
which is not correct and such argument is clearly untenable.
In a perusal and analysis of the PPI (Producers Prices
Indices) indices of the main countries of the European Union, we see that
European agriculture has relevant aspects in the composition of this index. As
it has mountainous regions and faces severe climatic conditions, European
farmers receive high and relevant subsidies from the State, in order to maintain
vibrant and rural communities.
In some cases, these allowances outpace the value of
the harvest and its output, which represents a gain for farmers and their
families. The subsidies are managed by the PAC (Politica Agricola Commons),
created in 1958 by the Treaty of Rome and entered into force in 1962. It is
estimated that in 2019 the value given to subsidies to European agriculture
exceeds the worth total of 97 billion Euros. Source: https://ec.europa.eu/info/food-farming-fisheries/key-policies/common-agricultural-policy/cap-glance_en
It is important to note that European agriculture is
rooted in a strong “landlord” system, with great masters and landowners, Dukes,
politicians and large multinational companies, who do not give up receiving
these subsidies.
In short, Macron's narrative rebound and finds echo in
France, as it is the country that most subsidizes its agriculture, according to
PPI, among its European Union partners. (source:
https://data.oecd.org/price/producer-price-indices-ppi.htm) To further
complicate matters, the advent of the COVID-19 outbreak, further heightened the
need for increased subsidies and social benefits.
For all these reasons, this rhetoric does not comply
with the reality of the Brazilian Amazon, and does not support itself in
comparison with data from the agribusiness industry in Brazil, which is outstanding
and most competitive and practices state-of-the-art technology in their food
production systems to supply the world.

...Despite this forecast growth, the existing rail links between China and Europe are likely to remain niche options. Steve Saxon, a logistics expert from McKinsey in Shanghai, summarizes it nicely: “Compared to sea freight, the volume of goods transported to Europe overland will always remain small.” Read more at
