SE Brazil (including the far south) is an alluring place to do business because the domestic market is large and growing, there is a sizeable middle class, and it is as much a westernised consumer society as most other places. They speak Portuguese which is a Latin language so not too scary to have to learn. Western Brazil has a "wild west" reputation and only mining and forestry companies with a good deal of ruthlessness seem to be attracted. Mining in Brazil can certainly make money though it is fraught with all the problems of both regulation and remoteness from law enforcement, and of taxation, that you get in most frontier regions. NE Brazil is poor and undereducated and generally not seen favourably. Nobody would rank Brazil's polity as among the most favourable for business, but neither is it as treacherous as, for examples, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, or Zimbabwe.
