In 2022, the production costs for Brazilian cattle farming saw fluctuations, with a 10.15% increase for farms involved in rearing and a 12.56% decrease for farms involved in fattening, according to a study by Cepea and the CNA. The main factor behind this was the devaluation of pigs, a key product for fattening farms. However, other production inputs for the cattle farming of both systems saw significant price increases in 2022. The forecast for 2023 is a rise in production costs, primarily due to the high dollar, which makes imported inputs more expensive, and external factors such as the war in Ukraine and the possibility of a global recession.
