Marfrig acquires feedlot units

Marfrig Global Foods announced the acquisition of feedlot and farming units formerly operated by MFG Agropecuária Ltda., a company controlled by Marfrig’s principal shareholders. The transaction, valued at R$48 million, took place through a Marfrig subsidiary and is part of the company’s strategic plan to ensure raw material supply and enhance efficiency at its industrial operations.

Some of the acquired units were previously owned by Marfrig itself and are now returning to its production portfolio. The transaction followed procedures under the Related-Party Transactions Policy and was pre-approved by the Audit Committee. According to an official statement, this move is aimed at reducing costs related to underutilized industrial capacity, securing high-quality cattle supplies, and increasing the production of higher-value-added products, strengthening brands and enabling compliance with more profitable export quotas.

In addition to the operational gains, the acquisition underscores Marfrig’s commitment to continuous improvement in sustainable practices, aligning the investment with the company’s social and environmental responsibility goals, the statement added.
