BRAZIL: Marfrig to build meat-packing plants

By: just-food.com | 12 April 2010

Brazilian food group Marfrig is to spend BRL150m (US$85.3m) on building chicken farms and meat-packing plants in the local city of Jaciara.

The project, located in the central state of Mato Grosso, will bolster Marfrig's recently-acquired subsidiary Seara.

The site will have the capacity to slaughter 200,000 poultry a day and will create around 1,100 direct jobs, Marfrig said.

The project will be up and running in 2013, the company added.
