Brazilian poultry and swine producers resume activity, says ABPA
The expectation is that, this week, all agroindustries producing and processing poultry and pig farming will re-establish activities.
The resumption will happen gradually. The industry expects production to recover to normal standards in 60 days, to ensure the preservation of the quality of the products that reach the consumer.
The points where there was a serious lack of feed are being supplied. By next week, levels of food supply on farms are expected to return to normal.
Also over the next few days, representatives of agroindustries will survey the accumulated losses in this strike period. The initial expectation is more than R $ 3 billion (US 80 million), including sales losses in the domestic market, dead animals, logistic costs, export contract losses and others.
As ABPA has warned since roadblocks began, there will be a shortage of poultry, pork and egg products in supermarkets and other outlets until production and distribution are completely restored.
