The Brazilian Meat & Livestock Sector. 3 RD Edition

Transcription

1 The Brazilian Meat & Livestock Sector 3 RD Edition Background and Study Objective This will be the 3 rd edition of the Brazilian Meat & Livestock Report. The report is currently under development and will be delivered to clients at the end of January, The Brazilian meat sector is classified as one of the most dynamic in the world. Currently, Brazil is the 2 nd largest meat producer in the world and number one in international trade. Similar to the past two reports, this effort will also give considerable attention to the supply side of each of the three livestock activities. Data and information will be provided regarding characterization of farmers and ranchers, their management practices as well as their production costs. Aside from a detailed analysis of each meat chain, information will be provided on the prospects for traceability in the segments and distribution and logistics issues.

2 Poultry Meat While Brazil has a reputation for beef production, poultry exports now lead in meat protein exports. The competitive edge lies in the relatively low production costs of important raw materials corn and soybean meal and the well developed integrated farming systems in place. Furthermore, the population consumes a large portion some 70% - of poultry meats, a critical factor when equating global crises as seen in 2008 and Nurturing this meat demand on the domestic side is the fact that Brazil s disposable income level has been increasing and consequently, has shown strong signs of meat protein demand growth. On the industry side, consolidation has been the prime word. Sadia and Perdigão the leading players in the poultry industry are in the process of merging and other non traditional players JBS and Marfrig have also taking stakes in the sector. With this in mind, the report will also cover the implications of industry concentration on the supply side of the chain. The situation of second tier players will also be addressed in this effort. Beef At the industry level, major changes have taken place in the past 2-3 years. Firstly, there has been a major consolidation process which has taken place. Five years ago, 26% of the beef slaughter was in the hands of three companies. This figure now stands at over 30% for just two companies JBR and Marfrig. Most importantly, the leading players JBS and Marfrig have taken their operations overseas and both companies have considerable stakes in the beef (and poultry) markets on a global basis. On the domestic front, the last few years has also been characterized by a number of companies going out of business or entering chapter 11. These trends both at the industry and at the livestock level will be described and analyzed in this report. In considering the supply of live animals and the need to improve commercial relationships with industry, case examples will be given which will indicate the increasing or decreasing level of integration in the beef chain. Pork Meat Different from the beef and poultry meat segments, pork meat consumption has been rather static over the past 10 years. As a result, most of the leading players Sadia, Perdigão, JBS and Marfrig are concentrating efforts on processed products for the domestic market and special cuts for the export market. Export prospects were recently enhanced in November by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the USDA which recognized the state of Santa Catarina as free of hoof and mouth disease. The implications are expected to be minimal for beef, yet in the case of pork, this state is a major producer and exporter of pork meats. Most importantly, this recognition by the USDA will have positive implications for other potential importing countries, including Japan and Korea. The implications of this USDA recognition will be addressed in this report. 2

3 Meat Availability Forecast As was done in the last edition of this report, an update of the domestic supply and demand for meats will be estimated to give the reader a better idea of potential meat exports. This forecast will be for a 10-year period and will also give importance to the main drivers for production, export and imports. The forecast will include a gap analysis from the previous report and also qualify any major changes. Study Methodology The report is based on AgraFNP s vast data and information base on the livestock and meat segment. The report heavily relied on extensive desk research by the study team as well as select interviews with specialists in each of the meat chains. Report Content: The report will be completed in January, 2011 and delivered to clients by the end of January, Similar to past reports, the effort will consist of over 250 pages, including charts and tables. Aside from a detailed analysis of the three meat segments, company profiles of the major industry players will be included. Data in the report will cover full-year Who Should Buy this Report? This study is designed to bring value to all players involved in the value chain for beef, pork and poultry products.
