    Brazil slaughtering records make it global meat king, IBGE data shows

    Brazilian meat companies processed unprecedented volumes of chicken and hogs and recorded the second-highest level of cattle slaughtering in history, according to 2023 data released on Thursday by the national census bureau. The fresh data from statistics agency IBGE confirms that the South American nation, which is the world's biggest beef and chicken meat supplier and the fourth largest hog meat exporter, is well positioned to retain or expand its share of the global meat trade. IBGE said cattle slaughtering in Brazil, which commands about a fourth of the global beef trade, grew by almost 14% in 2023 to 34.06 million head, in continued expansion from 2022.

    Brazil's Marfrig sells abattoirs to Minerva in $1.5 billion deal

    SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Brazilian meatpacker Marfrig has agreed to sell 16 slaughtering plants to rival Minerva for 7.5 billion reais ($1.54 billion) in a deal that will significantly change its profile in South America, according to a securities filing. With the sale, Marfrig, which also controls U.S.-based National Beef and BRF SA in Brazil, will retain only its larger-scale industrial facilities in the region in a bid to focus on production of processed meat products. The move marks a shift away from a commoditized business model for Marfrig while competitor Minerva, one of South America's largest beef exporters, goes in the opposite direction.
