Brazil Unknown

That Brazil is a country where all foreigners doing what wants, this is nothing a new. All the products manufactured here are more expensive for the local population, and when exported, are marketed in other countries with much more competitive prices. Here, at Arroto News, we have already reported the Panettone Bauducco that is sold 67% cheaper in Canada . But now in 2017, the Brazilian industry has repeated this shame. At the end of January, the italian automaker Fiat (brand of the FCA group) decided to sell the Mobi model with a 1.0-liter and three-cylinder engine, in Mexico. This model car is made in Brazil, in the city of Betim (MG), and will be offered to Mexicans in the versions Easy, Like and Way. The most impressive is the price of the basic version of the vehicle: 149,900 Mexican pesos, equivalent to BRL 22,640 , or approximately 30% cheaper than the price paid for the same version in Brazil. Another differential is the guarantee given to Mexicans: 7 years of total vehicle...

Brazilian Panettone sold in Canada: most expensive price in Brazil On average, two months before of the Christmas, start in Brazil the panettone's sales. Here the prices range from BRL 17 to BRL 38 as is the case of Bauducco's brand. In Canada, the Brazilian reader Sobeck Rebello read in a newspaper a news about the high product prices in Brazil  and sent an e-mail: - I was in São Paulo and found Bauducco's Panettone with 750 grams being sold for BRL 38.00. Here in Toronto, the same product is sold for 7.99 Canadian dollars! Awesome. He returned to the market, took a picture and sent us the picture, which doesn't let lie. Each Canadian dollar, according to the Central Bank of Brazil, now costs in the range of BRL 2.91. That is, 7.99 Canadian dollars equivalent to BRL 24.00. The Bauducco's panettone found by Sobeck here in Brazil is 58% more expensive than in Canada. The Brazilian tax burden explains the difference.

In Brazilian airports you should forget the concept of "free shops" where you could find many products at popular prices. Everything here is more expensive, starting by a hot dog that costs $6 and reaching a mobile phone charger that costs almost the half price of the device itself that it reloads. A good example is at Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, where a small bottle of Budweiser can cost 3x the value of the same bottle in a supermarket. A simple cup of coffee at Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro, can cost more expensive than a "cappuccino" at Starbucks.
