The Union Representing Beef And Pork Companies Announced This Tuesday, 24, That The Closure Of A Factory Known As Big Boi Is The Latest Blow To The Sector. In Addition, They Claim To Have Been Suffering From This For Several Years.

At First, The Slaughter Volume In Paraná Fell, From More Than 835,000 Head Of Cattle In 2019 To 695,000 Head Of Cattle In 2021. However, There Was A 17% Drop According To The State’s Sindicarnes. The Big Boi Slaughterhouse Announced More Than 800 Layoffs On January 10 For A Lack Of Livestock In The State And Also Closure Of Operations In Paiçandu, Paraná.

It Is Worth Remembering That The Slaughterhouse Processed More Than 500 Cattle Per Day. After This Announcement That One Of The Largest Beef Processing Units In Paraná Would Close, The Union Of The Meat And By-Products Industry Of Paraná (Sindicarnes-PR) Had To Demand Urgent Measures To Support The Sector. In The Statement Given This Tuesday, The Union Blamed Mainly The High Costs And The Decrease In The Supply Of Cattle.

Additionally, Weak Domestic Demand And The Prospect Of Increased Tax Burden May Have Influenced This Closure. Thus, The Big Boi Slaughterhouse Is The Third Largest In Paraná, And Like It, Large Companies Such As JBS Also Have A Unit In Paraná, Even Though It Has Been Idle For A Few Years. The Union Also Reminds That Five Years Ago, The Beef Slaughterhouses Exceeded One Million Head Per Year.
