The preponderance today of São Paulo as a producer state is shown by her
shipment values—465,212 contos out of the total exports, or about
forty-six per cent of Brazilian sales. Next in values come the sales of
Minas Geraes, worth 221,000 contos, and Rio de Janeiro state, with about
176,000 contos; Bahia is fourth, with exports worth over 102,000 contos;
Pará and Amazonas follow with about 70,000 and 64,000 contos
respectively; Paraná, 33,565 contos; Espirito Santo, nearly 30,000; and
Pernambuco, with 22,600 contos, are next, followed by Ceará, shipping
nearly 19,000 contos’ worth of goods, to Rio Grande do Sul, with sales
worth almost 16,000 contos; the only other state shipping over 10,000
contos’ worth of goods is Maranhão.
