JBS doubles Brazil-based meat facility support export to China

Meat giant JBS will invest 150m reais ($28.3m) to double processing capacity at a beef plant in its home market of Brazil.

The Sao Paulo-headquartered company said the cash injection at the Campo Grande II facility in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul will enable the site to process 4,400 animals daily within a year from 2,200, while the number of employees will increase from 2,300 to 4,600.

According to the business, the move will make the facility the largest beef plant in Latin America and one of the top three for JBS worldwide.

The announcement comes as the Campo Grande II facility was approved by the Chinese government on 12 March to export beef to the Asian country.

JBS’s meat factory was one of the 38 Brazilian plants approved by China.
