BRF announced at the end of last year the growth plan of the company for the next 10 years. By 2030 the company intends to invest around 55 billion to expand the company's growth. The idea is to jump from an annual revenue of R$ 33 billion to around R$ 100 billion a year in revenue.

A problem that BRF had to overcome last year was the Covid. Since the pandemic broke out in the country, the company has removed employees from the risk group, hiring something around 10 people on temporary contracts. This year, around 3 vacancies were opened. Lourival highlights that they believed that the pandemic would end by the end of last year: ''We all thought so. Now, we understand that we will not have a 2021 as we had hoped, but that does not change our vision and the long-term ambition of the company or investments in Minas".
