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.
