If Brazil decides to produce more coffee instead of wheat, what could be the opportunity cost of this decision?

Opportunity cost is what you give up when you choose one option over another. If Brazil decides to produce more coffee instead of wheat, the opportunity cost is the amount of wheat that could have been produced instead. For example, if Brazil uses land and resources that could grow 100 tons of wheat to grow coffee, the opportunity cost is those 100 tons of wheat they will not have. This means they must consider how much coffee they need versus how much wheat they are losing. Understanding this helps Brazil make better choices about what crops to grow based on their needs and market demand.
