摘要

The October 1940 agreement between the United States and Brazil supporting rubber research at Brazil’s Instituto Agronômico do Norte foreshadowed a far more substantial mutual commitment driven by wartime events. Of overwhelming consequence for Brazilian agriculture was the implementation of a joint agricultural development program, stemming from the U.S. political leadership’s conviction that closer economic ties with Latin America, and especially with Brazil, were essential to preventing an Axis beachhead in the Americas.
