The units will focus on Brazil, Europe and Asia, with a fourth looking at BRF’s wider Latin American business and a fifth responsible for Africa and the Middle East.

BRF’s business had been divided in two, with a unit looking at Brazil and another at all other markets.

Faria, the former head of BRF’s international business, became CEO at the start of the month and believes the changes will help the company’s overseas operations.
