In 2012, Australia was the largest holder of economic nickel resources in the world with approximately 25% of global resources. Australia's nickel production is dominated by komatiite deposits (82%) that are associated with Archean (>2 500 million years old) greenstone sequences, whereas the majority of Australia's nickel resources are located ...
Further, Brazil was a net importer from 2010 to 2012. During this time frame, investment contributed just under 20% of GDP and government consumption added just over 20%. Services account for more than 65% of total economic activity and employ the majority of Brazil's labor force.
After that, production increased at a much faster rate than in the rest of Brazil, and the contribution of the Cerrado to total grain production increased from 35.4% in 1970 to 49.2% in 2006 (Table3). In other words, the Cerrado biome in Brazil, which occupies roughly 25% of the countrys territory, accounted for nearly 50% of grain production.
