Brazil’s government approved to joining OPEC+, a group of major oil-exporting nations.
OPEC+ officially invited Brazil to join the organization in late 2023.
Brazil is the largest oil producer in South America, with an output of around 4.32 million barrels of oil per day.
The U.S. is the world’s largest producer at nearly 22 million barrels daily, with Saudi Arabia, the largest producer in OPEC, at about 11 million barrels.
