Café brasileiro : não a um novo acordo internacional - São Paulo : Nobel, out./dez. 1993
Four years after the breakdown of the International Coffee Agreement this paper is an attempt to evaluate the position of the Brazilian government. Brazil was, in 1989, the country very much against the renewal of the agreement. To do that an examination was made of the empirical evidence during the last thirty years. Such evidence showed losses in Brazils coffee production, exports and market share. In practice, Brazil was the only country to carry the burden of the coffee agreement. The other countries profited at Brazils costs. It is also shown the large comparative advantage of coffee production in Brazil and that adjustments should be made in domestic policies
