DUBLIN, Ireland–(EMWNews)–Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f2d3b3/brazil_food_and_dr)

has announced the addition of the “Brazil Food and Drink Report Q3 2008”

report to their offering.

The Brazilian meat industry is one of the largest and most profitable of

all the Brazilian food sectors. However, its market leading position is

constantly threatened by health scares and export bans, which have the

power to wreak havoc on firms’ revenues. Many

of the largest firms have sought to diversify into other countries and

other sectors in an effort to shield themselves from this threat.

However, a ban on Brazilian beef by the EU in the first quarter of 2008

highlights the precarious position of many food firms operating in this

sector.

This action by the EU comes just a year after Russia lifted its own ban

on Brazilian meat. Brazil is Russia’s biggest

meat supplier, but in 2005, after a widespread outbreak of foot and

mouth disease, Russia prohibited all meat imports from eight Brazilian

states. On December 1 2007, this ban was lifted, but it had already

forced some Brazilian firms to shift entire production lines to

Brazilian states where the ban was not applied.

In a response to the EU ban, Brazilian meat processing firm Marfrig,

which derives around 16% of its revenues from exports to the EU,

announced it would expand its operations in Argentina and Uruguay. This

kind of geographical diversification has been pursued by all of the

country’s leading meat firms and is one way to

negate the effect of bans on Brazilian meat. JBS now has significant

operations in Argentina and has been rapidly expanding in the US.

However, despite this diversification all of the leading Brazilian

firms, including JBS and Marfrig, rely heavily on meat produced in

Brazil and ensuring that these firms do not have to endure an endless

cycle of export bans is crucial for safeguarding the long-term health of

the Brazilian meat industry.
