The JBS Subsidiary, SEARA, has commenced production in two new further-processing facilities in Brazil. The project is part of a $1.5 billion expansion to increase market share and contribute to company profit. The two plants have added 700 additional jobs in a company complex located in Rolandia in the state of Parana in southern Brazil.
The breaded chicken plant has commenced operation and contributes to the one-third share of the domestic breaded chicken market in Brazil held by SEARA. The second facility produces
sausages with improved quality and flavor.
Given the extensive export market for whole birds and products, it is anticipated that breaded chicken and sausages will be added to consumption in the Middle East and other nations supplied by Brazil.
