In addition, the company’s producers are also expected to invest R$ 181 million in their facilities to increase production capacity and modernize installation technologies, creating various jobs and income for Rio Grande do Sul.

According to the Governor of Rio Grande do Sul, Eduardo Leite, everyone is happy with the investment announcement, as it demonstrates BRF’s confidence in the state of RS and their willingness to invest in its future. The governor claims he will continue working to ensure that the state deserves this confidence, as the investment will bring jobs, income, and development to the region.

According to Lorival Luz, CEO of BRF, the capital will be directed towards the modernization and expansion of BRF’s production factories in Marau, Lajeado, and Serafina Corrêa, in addition to a new feed factory in Gaurama. The feed factory in Arroio do Meio (RS) will also be updated. The investment, which promises to generate various jobs, will be made by mid-next year, with R$ 44 million of this already applied.

BRF announced that it is the only Brazilian food company participating in the second international investment round of Aleph Farms, an Israeli startup and one of the world’s leading players in cultivated meat, developed from non-genetically modified bovine cells. BRF invested US$ 2.5 million in this operation, joining other corporations and individuals, with the aim of developing protein in the laboratory from animal cells.

With this move, BRF claims to be taking another step in its plan to meet the growing consumer demand for new and alternative sources of protein, bringing innovative technologies to Brazil. Unlike other partnerships and acquisitions, this is the first time the company has made a venture capital transaction.
