The article highlights the anticipated decrease in Brazil's bovine herd, with an estimated reduction of between 300,000 and 400,000 animals due to sales, as forecasted by the Senacsa company. This decrease is expected to result in a record slaughter and export volume for the year. The demand for Brazilian meat is high, and the sector expects market concentration to change due to higher prices and a lower supply. The article also mentions the challenges posed by cheap products from Brazil and the need for stability in the exchange rate. In 2024, Brazil has seen an 8.9% increase in livestock slaughter compared to the previous year, reaching 2,031,241 heads.
