A micro-assessment of country risk is the risk assessment of a country with respect to the MNC’s type of business.

The Delphi technique involves collecting various independent opinions and then averaging and measuring the dispersion of those opinions.

development of the country. Democratic form of governance is there in Brazil.

PESTEL Economic: -
Brazil is South America’s leading economic power, and show no signs of slowing down.
In 2004 Brazil began to see an economic turn around. Employment and Real wages began to increase, public debt has been reduced, and real interest rates have declined.
The three pillars of this economic plan are a tight fiscal policy, an inflation targeting regime, and a floating exchange rate.

America (consuming 8.78 quadrillion Btu of commercial energy in 2001).

Legal: Brazil's judicial system plays an important role in the Brazilian economy. Any government decision affecting the rights of the individual is contested and supported by an independent judicial system. Therefore, radical changes in legislature regarding the economy are almost impossible if the judicial system disapproves.

Threat of New Entrant
Government Rules & Norms The Cost of Capital in Brazil is high Existing Mills will also be a threat Total Tax burden is high and income distribution
remains skewed. To fulfill the need of sugar producers for finance
and security, sugar is traded before production.
![Page 25: Country Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546b289fb4af9f260a8b4e94/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Rivalry Among Competitors
At present the system is not liberal.
Expected Demand of sugar would increase world wide.
![Page 26: Country Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546b289fb4af9f260a8b4e94/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Bargaining Power of Buyer
Selling sugar at a lower price or on favorable selling conditions.
![Page 27: Country Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546b289fb4af9f260a8b4e94/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
Few supply (for export) and buyers are many.
Labour force is cheaply available
Availability of Sugarcane

Threat of Substitute
Artificial Sweetener. Jaggery.

Conclusion
If all the norms and rules are fulfilled than only it is feasible to set up new mill.
It would be more beneficial if along with sugar ethanol is also produced.
