Answer 1

-Brazil is the world's leading coffee producer so you could look into "Brazilian coffee production"

-Brazil has a large sugar cane industry and this is intimately tied to their prevalent use of ethanol as a fuel.  That has an agriculture as well as manufacturing/industry element to it...read more here:

-Brazil has a large and economically important tourist industry.  You could investigate that as  part of the large services economy in the country.  

There are many more, but I hope those three get you started.

Answer 2

Definitely talk about the petroleum and the new oil field Brazil just found this year putting the country one of the biggest producers in the world.

Answer 3

If you go onto the CIA website  CIA.gov and click on the Link World Fact Book and look for Brazil, it will give you almost everything you need to know about brazil and it's economy.  I used this site alot for a class I took in college. Here is the link, hope it helps.  Brazil is also a big tourism country and they get a good part of their money from it.
