Brazil, specially it's O Globo network, have been BIG players and for 
some time.  For some reason they tend to export period pieces set it the 
1700s or 1800s.

Argentina was a pioneer, making a big hit with "Nino" in the 1960s, but 
fell on hard times and lost pre-eminence.  It still contributes a few 
novelas a year to the international market and Peru has entered the 
market as well, although most of its production is geared to its 
internal market.

Most surprisingly, South Korea has entered the Latin American soap opera 
market with some success.


If workers empowerment and revolution can be woven into a telenovela, 
and done well, it could be significant.   The question is would foreign 
networks buy it...
