Brazil beef exports to rise 25 pct in 2011
11.02.2011 11:05 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
Higher prices for beef and a
recovery in the size of Brazils herd should push up unprocessed
exports in 2011 by 25 percent to 2 million tonnes, the
national farming confederation, CNA, said on Thursday.
Antenor Nogueira, president of a CNA forum for beef, said
Brazils beef cattle herd was expanding again after a few
years of depressed prices that prompted many livestock
farmers to speed up slaughter. Brazil, already the worlds top beef exporter, has an opportunity
to seize upon higher beef prices, Nogueira said, noting
that some key producing nations still have a way to go
in the three to four years it takes to grow herds.
