Brazilian meat companies processed unprecedented volumes of chicken and hogs and recorded the second-highest level of cattle slaughtering in history, according to 2023 data released on Thursday by the national census bureau. The fresh data from statistics agency IBGE confirms that the South American nation, which is the world's biggest beef and chicken meat supplier and the fourth largest hog meat exporter, is well positioned to retain or expand its share of the global meat trade. IBGE said cattle slaughtering in Brazil, which commands about a fourth of the global beef trade, grew by almost 14% in 2023 to 34.06 million head, in continued expansion from 2022.
As incomes in China have grown in the last decade, so has China’s appetite for beef. No longer out of reach for China’s middle class, beef now sizzles in home woks and restaurant kitchens. China has become the world’s biggest importer of beef, and Brazil is China’s biggest supplier, according to United Nations Comtrade data.
