The sugarcane sector has been gaining more importance in both Brazilian and World economies, even though it has had a lack of agricultural investments and climate issues has generated questionings about the future of the sector. To analyse this trend, the present work was based on the following growth strategies: internal growth, horizontal integration, diversification, and vertical integration. The objective of the present research is to assess the relationship between these types of strategies and macro-environmental variables in order to determine any possible correlation. Bibliographic and documental survey on the behaviour of macro-environment variables was carried out. The Pearson’s correlation test was used to identify the relationship between these variables and growth strategies. It was possible to observe that each type of growth strategy is related to one specific type of variable, which is exclusive to each strategy, except in the case of diversification. That is, electric energy prices have a correlation with internal growth and the real growth rate is correlated with horizontal growth. None of these macro-environmental variables repeated in other growth strategies. The only exception was the diversification strategy, which was correlated with eight variables, with five of these being exclusive to this type of strategy.

Well-established results indicate that export diversification might be a better growth strategy for an emerging economy as long as its GDP per capita level is smaller than an empirically defined threshold. As average incomes in Russian regions are likely to be far below the threshold, it might be important to estimate their diversification potential. The paper discusses the Atlas of economic complexity for Russian regions created to visualize regional export baskets, to estimate their complexity and evaluate regional export potential. The paper’s results are consistent with previous findings: the complexity of export is substantially higher and diversification potential is larger in western and central regions of Russia. Their export potential might become larger if western and central regions, first, try to join global value added chains and second, cooperate and develop joint diversification strategies. Northern and eastern regions are by contrast much less complex and their diversification potential is small.

This paper synthesizes and develops research undertaken by participants in The North-South Institute project, "Macroeconomic policy choices for growth and poverty reduction" in low- income developing countries.1 The project analysed the features of poverty and growth in seven poor countries of varying circumstances and proposed macroeconomic and growth policies for poverty reduction for them. The research was guided by the question: "How does poverty inform growth strategy?" Our research provides evidence of the channels through which growth and distribution or poverty processes depend on each other and respond to policy together. We encapsulate the messages of these case studies in the following six propositions, discussed at length in the paper: i) macroeconomic stability reduces poverty; ii) land redistribution enhances growth; iii) income poverty traps constrain growth; iv) urban-rural growth disparities drive income inequality; v) regional poverty traps resist growth, and vi) ley growth policies can aggravate poverty gaps.  The propositions suggest growth policies that may be either of two types in terms of impact on growth and distribution. They have the potential to enhance both growth and distribution (win-win) or to enhance growth while aggravating income gaps or vice versa (win-lose).
