JBS invests in new feed factory in Rio Grande do Sul to double local pork production
15 | 06 | 2023
JBS, one of the largest food companies in the world, is building a feed factory in Seberi, in the Northwestern region of Rio Grande do Sul. The new unit is expected to generate up to 110 direct jobs, and the production will supply pig breeders in 36 nearby municipalities. About BRL 250 million are being invested in the project, which will enable Seara and JBS to continue contributing to the economic and social development of the State.
With the increase in feed supply, the integrated producers will be able to double pork breeding by the end of 2023, making the region the main producer of pig farming in Rio Grande do Sul. Located on the same land as the Seberi industrial plant, the new feed factory occupies a total area of 63,000 square meters (m²), with 48,000 m² of constructed area, and will have the capacity to produce 50,000 tons of the input per month. The plant will supply more than 300 integrated swine-producing families of Seara.
JBS is betting on the potential of the Seberi region to expand Seara’s pork processing in Rio Grande do Sul. Currently, the company has more than 40 feed factories in operation in the South, Southeast, and Central-West regions of the country.
The construction of this new feed factory is part of the investments announced by JBS in April 2021, of BRL 1.7 billion, in Rio Grande do Sul. The investments made in the 2021-2023 triennium include expansion and improvements in units in seven cities, among them Seberi, increasing the production of natural protein and prepared foods to meet the demands of the external and internal markets.
