Big Frango generates annual sales of over BRL1bn, JBS said, with a processing capacity of 460,000 birds per day in two processing facilities and a license to export to “the major global markets”.
JBS said: “In this context, this acquisition represents an important step to strengthen JBS Foods’ position in the Brazilian and international consumer market of poultry and poultry products.”
The deal was announced alongside a larger move from JBS in Australia, where it has agreed to pay A$1.45bn (US$1.26bn) for local meats group Primo Smallgoods.
