some countries in south america have better climates for growing coffee than others. for example, most of the coffee exported in south america comes from □, where there is a warm and humid climate year round. other countries cannot grow as much coffee, so they must import it. thirty - eight percent of all of the coffee imported in south america goes to □, where the climate is not as good for growing coffee. trade allows countries in south america to □ their products so that everyone can get what they need.

Explanation:

1. For the first blank: We look at the "Percentage of total South American coffee exports (2016)" column. Brazil has 60%, which is the highest among the three countries, so most exported coffee comes from Brazil.
2. For the second blank: We look at the "Percentage of total South American coffee imports (2016)" column. Argentina has 38%, which is the highest, so 38% of imported coffee goes to Argentina.
3. For the third blank: The context is about trade, and "share" makes sense as trade allows countries to share their products. "Destroy" is not relevant here.

Answer:

First blank: Brazil
Second blank: Argentina
Third blank: share
