Brazil is the world's largest coffee-producing country, but it still imports a large amount of coffee. The dataset includes the monthly value of Coffee imports in Brazil for 32.5 years from Jan 1990 to June 2022. The data is taken from the United States Department of Agriculture, Foreign Agriculture Services website.

This data set is a subset of the "Records of foreign capital" (Registros de capitais estrangeiros", RCE) published by the Central Bank of Brazil (CBB) on their website. The data set consists of three data files and three corresponding metadata files. All files are in openly accessible .csv or .txt formats. See detailed outline below for data contained in each. Data files contain transaction-specific data such as unique identifier, currency, cancelled status and amount. Metadata files outline variables in the corresponding data file. RCE_Unclean_full_dataset.csv - all transactions published to the Central Bank website from the four main categories outlined below Metadata_Unclean_full_dataset.csv RCE_Unclean_cancelled_dataset.csv - data extracted from the RCE_Unclean_full_dataset.csv where transactions were registered then cancelled Metadata_Unclean_cancelled_dataset.csvRCE_Clean_selection_dataset.csv - transaction data extracted from RCE_Unclean_full_dataset.csv and RCE_Unclean_cancelled_dataset.csv for the nine companies and criteria identified below Metadata_Clean_selection_dataset.csv The data include the period between October 2000 and July 2011. This is the only time span for the data provided by the Central Bank of Brazil at this stage. The records were published monthly by the Central Bank of Brazil as required by Art. 66 in Decree nº 55.762 of 17 February 1965, modified by Decree nº 4.842 of 17 September 2003. The records were published on the bank’s website starting October 2000, as per communique nº 011489 of 7 October 2003. This remained the case until August 2011, after which the amount of each transaction was no longer disclosed (and publication of these stopped altogether after October 2011). The disclosure of the records was suspended in order to review their legal and technical aspects, and ensure their suitability to the requirements of the rules governing the confidentiality of the information (Law nº 12.527 of 18 November 2011 and Decree nº 7724 of May 2012) (pers. comm. Central Bank of Brazil, 2016. Name of contact available upon request to Authors). The records track transfers of foreign capital made from abroad to companies domiciled in Brazil, with information on the foreign company (name and country) transferring the money, and on the company receiving the capital (name and federative unit). For the purpose of this study, we consider the four categories of foreign capital transactions which are published with their amount and currency in the Central Bank’s data, and which are all part of the “Register of financial transactions” (abbreviated RDE-ROF): loans, leasing, financed import and cash in advance (see below for a detailed description). Additional categories exist, such as foreign direct investment (RDE-IED) and External Investment in Portfolio (RDE-Portfólio), for which no amount is published and which are therefore not included. We used the data posted online as PDFs on the bank’s website, and created a script to extract the data automatically from these four categories into the RCE_Unclean_full_dataset.csv file. This data set has not been double-checked manually and may contain errors. We used a similar script to extract rows from the "cancelled transactions" sections of the PDFs into the RCE_Unclean_cancelled_dataset.csv file. This is useful to identify transactions that have been registered to the Central Bank but later cancelled. This data set has not been double-checked manually and may contain errors. From these raw data sets, we conducted the following selections and calculations in order to create the RCE_Clean_selection_dataset.csv file. This data set has been double-checked manually to secure that no errors have been made in the extraction process. We selected all transactions whose recipient company name corresponds to one of these nine companies, or to one of their known subsidiaries in Brazil, according to the list of subsidiaries recorded in the Orbis database, maintained by Bureau Van Dijk. Transactions are included if the recipient company name matches one of the following: - the current or former name of one of the nine companies in our sample (former names are identified using Orbis, Bloomberg’s company profiles or the company website); - the name of a known subsidiary of one of the nine companies, if and only if we find evidence (in Orbis, Bloomberg’s company profiles or on the company website) that this subsidiary was owned at some point during the period 2000-2011, and that it operated in a sector related to the soy or beef industry (including fertilizers and trading activities). For each transaction, we extracted the name of the company sending capital and when possible, attributed the transaction to the known ultimate owner. The name of the countries of origin sometimes comes with typos or different denominations: we harmonized them. A manual check of all the selected data unveiled that a few transactions (n=14), appear twice in the database while bearing the same unique identification number. According to the Central Bank of Brazil (pers. comm., November 2016), this is due to errors in their routine of data extraction. We therefore deleted duplicates in our database, keeping only the latest occurrence of each unique transaction. Six (6) transactions recorded with an amount of zero were also deleted. Two (2) transactions registered in August 2003 with incoherent currencies (Deutsche Mark and Dutch guilder, which were demonetised in early 2002) were also deleted. To secure that the import of data from PDF to the database did not contain any systematic errors, for instance due to mistakes in coding, data were checked in two ways. First, because the script identifies the end of the row in the PDF using the amount of the transaction, which can sometimes fail if the amount is not entered correctly, we went through the extracted raw data (2798 rows) and cleaned all rows whose end had not been correctly identified by the script. Next, we manually double-checked the 486 largest transactions representing 90% of the total amount of capital inflows, as well as 140 randomly selected additional rows representing 5% of the total rows, compared the extracted data to the original PDFs, and found no mistakes. Transfers recorded in the database have been made in different currencies, including US dollars, Euros, Japanese Yens, Brazilian Reais, and more. The conversion to US dollars of all amounts denominated in other currencies was done using the average monthly exchange rate as published by the International Monetary Fund (International Financial Statistics: Exchange rates, national currency per US dollar, period average). Due to the limited time period, we have not corrected for inflation but aggregated nominal amounts in USD over the period 2000-2011.

The categories loans, cash in advance (anticipated payment for exports), financed import, and leasing/rental, are those used by the Central Bank of Brazil in their published data. They are denominated respectively: “Loans” (“emprestimos” in original source) - : includes all loans, either contracted directly with creditors or indirectly through the issuance of securities, brokered by foreign agents. “Anticipated payment for exports” (“pagamento/renovacao pagamento antecipado de exportacao” in original source): defined as a type of loan (used in trade finance)“Financed import” (“importacao financiada” in original source): comprises all import financing transactions either direct (contracted by the importer with a foreign bank or with a foreign supplier), or indirect (contracted by Brazilian banks with foreign banks on behalf of Brazilian importers). They must be declared to the Central Bank if their term of payment is superior to 360 days.“Leasing/rental” (“arrendamento mercantil, leasing e aluguel” in original source) : concerns all types of external leasing operations consented by a Brazilian entity to a foreign one. They must be declared if the term of payment is superior to 360 days.More information about the different categories can be found through the Central Bank online.

Unit value indexes are based on data reported by countries that demonstrate consistency under UNCTAD quality controls, supplemented by UNCTAD’s estimates using the previous year’s trade values at the Standard International Trade Classification three-digit level as weights. To improve data coverage, especially for the latest periods, UNCTAD constructs a set of average prices indexes at the three-digit product classification of the Standard International Trade Classification revision 3 using UNCTAD’s Commodity Price Statistics, international and national sources, and UNCTAD secretariat estimates and calculates unit value indexes at the country level using the current year’s trade values as weights. For economies for which UNCTAD does not publish data, the import volume indexes (lines 73) in the IMF's International Financial Statistics are used.;United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Handbook of Statistics and data files, and International Monetary Fund, International Financial Statistics.;;

Brazil BR: Tariff Rate: Applied: Weighted Mean: Primary Products data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Brazil – Table BR.World Bank.WDI: Trade Tariffs. Weighted mean applied tariff is the average of effectively applied rates weighted by the product import shares corresponding to each partner country. Data are classified using the Harmonized System of trade at the six- or eight-digit level. Tariff line data were matched to Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) revision 3 codes to define commodity groups and import weights. To the extent possible, specific rates have been converted to their ad valorem equivalent rates and have been included in the calculation of weighted mean tariffs. Import weights were calculated using the United Nations Statistics Division's Commodity Trade (Comtrade) database. Effectively applied tariff rates at the six- and eight-digit product level are averaged for products in each commodity group. When the effectively applied rate is unavailable, the most favored nation rate is used instead. Primary products are commodities classified in SITC revision 3 sections 0-4 plus division 68 (nonferrous metals).;World Bank staff estimates using the World Integrated Trade Solution system, based on tariff data from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development's Trade and Development's Trade Analysis and Information System (TRAINS) database and global imports data from the United Nations Statistics Division's Comtrade database.;;The tariff data for the European Union (EU) apply to EU Member States in alignment with the EU membership for the respective countries/economies and years. In the context of the tariff data, the EU membership for a given country/economy and year is defined for the entire year during which the country/economy was a member of the EU (irrespective of the date of accession to or withdrawal from the EU within a given year). The tariff data for the EU are, thus, applicable to Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands (EU Member State(s) since 1958), Denmark and Ireland (EU Member State(s) since 1973), the United Kingdom (EU Member State(s) from 1973 until 2020), Greece (EU Member State(s) since 1981), Spain and Portugal (EU Member State(s) since 1986), Austria, Finland, and Sweden (EU Member State(s) since 1995), Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia (EU Member State(s) since 2004), Romania and Bulgaria (EU Member State(s) since 2007), Croatia (EU Member State(s) since 2013).
