BRF to invest R$ 319 million to expand Uberlândia unit

BRF said on Wednesday that it will invest R$ 319 million to modernize and expand its industrial unit in Uberlândia (MG). Lorival Luz, CEO of the company, and Grazielle Parenti, Global Vice President of Institutional Relations, Reputation, and Sustainability, made the announcement by videoconference with Minas Gerais governor Romeu Zema and Vice President, Paulo Brant.

In an interview with Valor in February, the company had already announced the resumption of the margarine production line at the unit and the expansion of its production capacity by 35%. The investment will be directed towards the digital transformation of the plant and the diversification of the portfolio, which, in addition to margarine, includes bacon, cooked sausage, and chicken.

“BRF has a strong presence in Minas Gerais. We generated 7000 direct jobs and we have almost 300 integrated producers. This action is in line with the company’s Vision 2030 strategy, which seeks growth with value generation for our entire production chain”, explains Luz, in a note distributed to the press.

With this investment, the company expects to increase its production volume in Uberlândia by 25% by the fourth quarter of this year. Currently, exports of products directly from the mining unit add up to more than 31,000 tons per year.
