22/11/2013
In the build-up to BeefSummit Brasil, an industry event in December, Mr Tito said: “Brazil stands out. We still have challenges, such as improving our infrastructure and, especially, improving the relationships between packers and livestock farmers, but you only have to look at the figures for herd size, beef production, exports and so on to see that Brazil is performing very well.”
Apart from Brazil, he said he believes Paraguay has a very promising future ahead as a producer of cattle and beef. “It has the right conditions,” he said of the neighbouring country, “as we do here. But costs are lower in Paraguay, especially labour and energy costs.”
