Brazil-based meat group BRF is investing in one of its six plants in Argentina to "add value" to the site's production.

The company is changing the output at its site in Rio Cuarto. It said there would be a "transition from a whole chicken production to cuts and dams with added value". The upgrade will be complete by July next year.

As well as Argentina, the plant serves markets including China, Japan, Russia, the EU and South Africa.
