Brazil's infrastructure is dominated by long-haul logistics challenges. Vast distances, limited rail networks and ageing roads constrain agribusiness exports. The Novo PAC program targets transport, sanitation and energy. Electricity supply is largely renewable but transmission needs reinforcement. Digital connectivity is strong in metro areas but weak in rural regions.
