USDA predicts growth in Brazilian beef production

15/10/2015
Media in Brazil have quoted the US Department of Agriculture as saying Brazilian packers will increase beef production next year to reach 9.6 million tonnes, growth of 1.9%.

USDA is quoted as saying a fall in the value of the Brazil’s currency, the real, and the demand for beef around the world will mean an increase of 10% in beef exports from Brazil in 2016, with packers shipping almost 1.8 million tonnes to customers overseas.
