Brazilian meatpacker Marfrig has agreed to sell 16 South American slaughterhouses to rival Minerva for R$7.5 billion (US$1.5 billion).
Marfrig, which owns National Beef and BRF SA, will reportedly focus on producing processed meat products, retaining only its large-scale industrial facilities in the region.
A spokesperson told Reuters that the company plans to focus on producing and selling higher-value branded processed meat products and premium fresh cuts in South America.
The 16 slaughterhouses reportedly represent around 40% of the company’s sales in South America and are located in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
