Brazil continues to strengthen its position as the world' s leading meat exporter, with shipments of beef, poultry and pork together generating more than $10 billion last year. With some of the lowest production costs in the world, the Brazilian livestock sector is able to supply an increasingly sophisticated range of products at prices which few of its competitors are able to match. High prices and strong domestic demand have also contributed to an upturn in fortunes for Brazilian meat producers.

Meanwhile, a number of Brazil' s largest meat companies have expanded their operations beyond the country' s borders, buying up competitors overseas. But the threat of animal disease remains a concern and future export growth will depend on the country defending itself from accusations that industry standards do not match up to the demands of importers. Brazilian Meat Monitor will keep you up-to-date on these developments and more.

Brazilian Meat Monitor is an independent and objective publication that concentrates on giving you the quality news and insight that you need to stay ahead of your competitors.

Beef

Brazil is home to the world' s largest commercial cattle herd and is now firmly established as the leading supplier of beef to world markets. JBS-Friboi recently emerged as the world' s largest beef company, following the Brazilian firm' s audacious take over of US-based Swift & Co. Despite this, a number of developments promise to make the next few months a crucial period for the industry. The combination of strong domestic sales and a drop in cattle supplies is now leaving less beef available for export. At the same time, tougher EU restrictions are likely to have a significant impact on Brazilian beef shipments over the next few months. How will markets and prices respond to developments in Brazil, both domestically and abroad?

Poultry and Pork

Brazilian poultry exports recovered strongly last year, after the downturn in shipments seen in 2006. The industry now faces the challenge of responding to a surge in demand, both domestically and overseas, where sales are rising to markets such as China and the Middle East. Meanwhile, Brazil' s pork industry is looking to build on the progress made in 2007, when shipments were boosted by the reopening of a number of key export markets. Prospects for 2008 and beyond look bullish, as export demand rises and Brazilian producers continue to have access to competitively-priced feed, notably corn and soya. But is the outlook positive for all parts of the industry and what are the challenges that lie ahead?
