Portugal is a deeply Catholic country 🇵🇹✝️

Brazil is the world's largest exporter of unmanufactured tobacco leaf. The country has held that position for 33 consecutive years, since 1993. In 2025, Brazil exported a record 561,000 tons of tobacco leaf to 121 countries, generating 3.38 billion U.S. dollars in revenue. That broke the previous record of 3.27 billion U.S. dollars set in 2012. The largest buyers in 2025 were Belgium, China, Indonesia, the United States, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. Europe was the top destination, accounting for 41 percent of export value. About 95 percent of Brazilian tobacco is grown in three southern states: Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and Paraná. The 2024/2025 harvest was produced by 138,020 family farms with an average size of about 15 hectares each. The tobacco production chain employs approximately 626,000 people in rural Brazil. The largest Brazilian tobacco company is BAT Brasil, formerly known as Souza Cruz, a subsidiary of British American Tobacco since 1914. BAT Brasil operates the largest cigarette manufacturing complex in Latin America, in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, with combined Brazilian production capacity above 100 billion cigarettes per year. The leaf that fills cigarettes in London, Beijing, Cairo, Jakarta, and Lagos was almost certainly grown by a small family farm in southern Brazil. The Brazilian tobacco sector generated about 17 billion reais in tax revenue for the federal government in 2024. The largest tobacco export supply chain on Earth is anchored in 138,000 family farms across three Brazilian states. The world's most consolidated agricultural export sector has been hiding in plain sight for 33 years.

I grew up in Ontario. The traffic, the pollution, the price tag, the overcrowding. I love where I’m from, but it doesn’t add up anymore.
