2000 millimetres of rain each year. Most of this rainfall occurs between October and March. The Amazon
Basin has an equatorial climate which is not suitable for agriculture this area is covered by tropical red soils
which are heavily leached and infertile. Approximately 2000 to 3000 millimetres of rain falls each year
causing soil erosion. The South East is covered by Terra Rossa soils this is dark in colour and rich in
minerals. It is well drained and fertile. Coffee trees are grown in this area along the River Valleys. Alluvial
soils are also present due to annual flooding. Because of the tropical climate Brazil has high temperatures
and a year round growing season. Farmers can grow a variety of crops including coffee and soya. Cattle
ranching, occurs inland. This is extensive farming
