Table 4.59 shows the distribution of top 5 agricultural import products from the OIC countries

according to the region of origin. Nearly all of Brazil’s top agricultural product imports are from

non-OIC countries, despite a slight decrease from 99.9% in 2008 to 99.3% in 2016. The major

part of the slight increase in OIC countries’ share came from the Asian group, with an increase

from around 0% to 0.4% during the 2008-2016 period, while the shares of African and Asian

groups did not change much.
