Traceability and environmental support in Pará backed by JBS
Food and tannery group JBS shared an update on its traceability and sustainability initiatives during the “Expedition to the Sustainable Meat and Leather Market of Pará,” organised by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) Brazil.

The company said it has invested more than US$ 7 million in Pará to support livestock tracking and assist small producers, as part of a state-led programme aiming to achieve full traceability of all cattle and buffalo in the region by 2026.

This includes US$ 5 million for JBS’s Traceability Accelerator Program, with 2 million ID tags and 175 readers donated to suppliers and the state agency Adepará. The initial focus is on the southeast of the state, with expansion to other regions planned.

JBS has also invested US$ 2 million since 2021 in its Green Offices in Pará. These provide free support for environmental compliance, including rural registration, regularisation and land restoration. Nationally, the initiative has supported over 18,000 farm registrations and restoration of more than 7,000 hectares.
