Oct, 21, 2020 Posted by Ruth HollardWeek 202044
As of November 16, BRF will temporarily halt its chicken slaughterhouse at the Carambeí unit in Paraná. The information was revealed on October 19th on the website of the “Globo Rural” magazine.
BRF informed in a memo that “the Carambeí (PR) unit will undergo operational adjustments, where modernization works will be carried out as of November 16. The objective of this specific and previously planned measure is to adapt production to demand from the market”.
The Carambeí slaughterhouse exports to the Middle East, a region where demand for chicken meat has fallen amid the impacts of the pandemic on tourism in destinations such as Dubai.
Between January and September, shipments of Brazilian chicken meat to the United Arab Emirates fell 15.7%, according to data from the Foreign Trade Secretariat (SECEX) compiled by the Ministry of Agriculture.
