BRF to use domestic market as key to recovery
Industrial costs must be reduced by 30% in order to increase competitivity of BRF, explained the company's CEO, Pedro Parente, according to Reuters. "I’m not using shortcuts, and I’m not interested in showing good quarter numbers if they are not sustainable", declared Parente, who is concerned how to manage investors expectations facing the company's evolution.
The domestic market is seen as a key element in the recovery of the world's largest poultry producer as the exports are facing heavy winds due Brazil's external policy that can disrupt trade with the Muslim world. Meantime, Brazilian prosecutors are nearly ready to make an announcement on BRF corruption charges, with authorities expecting to make an announcement in the next few weeks. The investigation started last year and has looked at the relationship between food processors, agriculture ministry health inspectors, and laboratories involved in certification of meat sold domestically and to international markets, including Europe, China and the Middle East.
