Brazilian beef exports make destination diversification and full-carcass value inseparable

Goiás’ September market update describes Brazilian cattle markets as a combination of relatively tight supplies of finished animals and firm exports. The Cepea/Esalq finished-cattle indicator rose 3.1% in August from July, ending the month at an average of R$345.92 per arroba. The agency links the recovery to that supply situation and foreign trade, despite moderate domestic consumption.
