Big Boi Meatpacking Plant Announced Last Tuesday (10) the Dismissal of 800 Employees and the Closure of Operations in the Paiçandu Sector, in Paraná. The Meatpacking Plant is Considered One of the Biggest Employers in the Municipality of Paiçandu but is Facing Financial Difficulties at the Start of 2023.

The meatpacking plant Slaughtered About 500 Cows per Day; However, When the Employees Arrived for Work, the Management Held a Meeting to Inform the Employees that Operations Had Ended and That Everyone Was Laid Off.

What the Paraná Meatpacking Plant Says About the Layoffs

According to the Company, the Decision Was Made Due to the Lack of Cattle in Paraná, Where Meatpacking Plants Had to Purchase Cattle from Mato Grosso or Mato Grosso do Sul, Increasing Operating Costs. According to the Director, the Meatpacking Plant Has Been “Losing Money” for Over Seven Months, But There Were No Layoffs, Hoping the Situation Would Improve.

At This Time of Year, Even in Neighboring Countries, the Availability of Animals for Slaughter Decreases Even More, as the Product Uses Abundant Pastures to Maintain the Cattle’s Fat. Several Paraná Meatpacking Plants Have Closed in Recent Years Due to the Same Problem. This Was the Case for Giant JBS, One of the Largest Food Companies in the World, Which Closed Its Unit in Maringá, on the Border with Paiçandu in Front of Big Boi.
