Kory Melby Brazil Ag ConsultantAbout Kory Melby

Twenty years ago, when I first started my Brazil research and adventure, I was looking for someone like myself to help me understand the dynamics of the Brazil market place better. With much assistance from Brazilian and American friends, this site continues to evolve and grow.
​(UPDATE: KORY'S 22 YEARS IN BRAZIL)

My VIP Consulting Services and Ag Investment Tours are for those wanting to understand Brazil's Ag sectors while meeting specific business objectives of international professionals. I have led investment and agricultural groups from the USA, Canada, UK, Africa and China to see first hand Brazilian Agriculture (Argentina as well).

While I was writing this, others were sending me updates.

Below is just FYI:

Bolsonario already told the truckers to stop blocking highways.  The news is all about football and the transition.

I don't see anything National; just isolated protest.

I was doing some checking. There were no protests yesterday.  If nothing happens today, then don't see anything major happening tomorrow.  Businesses aren't going to close.  Might be protestors on the streets, but it's a work day, so don't see thousands out on the streets.

Again, nothing from the press.
