The place
Around thirty per cent of everything Brazil grows, and almost none of it at scale: the region is farmed mostly in holdings of ten to a hundred hectares.
The Mantiqueira range breaks the area into microclimates, so two farms an hour apart can be growing at meaningfully different altitudes and temperatures. That variation inside a single region is a large part of why Brazil’s range is as wide as it is.
