Decision follows restructuring steps by JBS in the United States
Production to be shifted within JBS network as company expands elsewhere
Mantiqueira USA and Andrews Meat Industries, both linked to JBS, expand into new markets through acquisitions.
Hickman’s Egg Ranch and Prime Cut Meats provide entry into U.S. and Australian protein sectors.
U.S. beef supply constraints are expected to pressure margins for JBS, the world’s largest meat processor, into next year, while Brazil faces a modest herd decline.
The facility is expected to generate more than 630 jobs once operational.
