Brazil stands out in the global scenario of meat

Brazil remains a great alternative to the global supply of proteins of animal origin. There are four Brazilian advantages in comparison to other players in the relevant production of proteins of animal origin:

● Production capacity: the zootechnical revolution that the country has achieved resulted in broad gains in average productivity in the Brazilian meat sector, genetics, refinement of management techniques, and quality animal nutrition. All of this generated a jump in average productivity, causing the production of proteins of animal origin to reach another level in Brazil;

● Understanding global demand: Brazil can fully meet the requirements of each of its commercial partners, knowing very well the different types of demand around the world;

● Good relationship with importers: Brazil has a great relationship with large consumers of proteins of animal origin. This relationship has been built slowly in recent years, allowing the expansion of agreements signed with traditional markets and the opening of new ones;

● Biosecurity: Brazil is a global reference in biosecurity, with a series of actions that make the Brazilian meat sector immune to diseases that affect herds around the world. We can mention classic cases of BSE, Avian Influenza, and African Swine Fever.

Brazil has presented an impressive leap in competitiveness over the decade. The most likely is that the country will gain even more market share in the coming few years, taking advantage of the weaknesses of its competitors, such as the European Union, which is struggling amid restrictive standards for healthy animal conditions, and high costs.

In this limited environment, it is quite logical for the Brazilian meat-packing industry to prioritize exports, maintaining a strong pace of shipments, with leadership in shipments of beef and chicken assured, and interesting growth potential for pork, a sector in which Brazil still does not have the leadership.
