Marfrig is understood to have hired Banco Itau to raise BRL2bn (US$990m) through the sale, the publication noted, with talks said to be at a “preliminary” stage.
Earlier this year, Marfrig’s board of directors approved a new operational structure as the firm looked to cut costs and complexity from the business.
The move created a “new operational unity”, Seara Foods, as well as implementing changes to its beef division and creating a separate holding to focus on strategy.
Blackstone, JPMorgan, Banco and Tyson did not return a request for comment.
