about the entry on the

alqueire

22 February 2002	Antonio Luiz contributed the values for the unit of land area in Brazil.
28 June 2001	Al Cabral provided the following information: “The fact is that my in-laws are having land expropriated by the government, to give way for a major highway. The compensation factor is based on $/[square meter]. My in-laws could not convert 5 alquieres to [square meters], hence my inquiry. I contacted a Portuguese realty estate agency who provided me with the answer - which was, an alquiere is equivalent to 1,420 [square meters], in the county where the farm is located.”
