Tridge summary

In the first half of December, the price of chicken meat in São Paulo increased, making it less competitive compared to pork and beef. This increase is due to strong domestic demand and good export performance, while pork prices have fallen due to low liquidity and high domestic supply. The price of beef carcasses also fell by 3.44% in the first ten days of the month.
