According to the Arizona Republic newspaper that I purchased this morning, Cargill announced yesterday that they have made the decision to invest $100 million in a new poultry processing plant in Brazil.

If you read the entire article they indicated they expected significant demand growth for chicken in Brazil. Most expansion is to serve the local and regional market.
Sandhusker said:They're going into a country that will soon be the world's leading exporter so they can serve the local and regional markets? I suppose their soybean operations are there for the local markets, too? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Brazil is still very much the wild, wild west. But thats changing fast.
Seriously I think North American producers should noty be fighting each other.

You've said that before. I didn't believe it then, either.

Agman has gone off the deep end.

With your limited knowledge of this subject I would not expect you to understand.

I understand that when a corner already has two drug stores on it, you don't open another. Brazil is striving to be the worlds biggest exporter of chickens - this tells me they have a lot of chickens. I don't think the local market in a place aleady loaded with chickens is the best investment.
Is Cargill in the Brazil bean market to serve the local markets? Are they expanding in Canada to serve the Canadian markets?
Companies expanding into other countries for the local markets may be what used to be before all this free trade crap, but don't try to tell us that is the case here.
Sandhusker said:Agman, "Tell me what you know actually about Cargill's bean business in Brazil. Much of the investment in Brazil is being made by many very large Brazilian producers. Some of the largest producers have over 500,000 acres under row crop cultivation"
I knew that, although that little tidbit has nothing to do with Cargill's marketing stratety.
Agman, "Current estimates have Brazilian bean production at 56.5 MMT versus 84 MMT in the U.S. Brazilian exports are estimated at 25.99 MMT or 45% of their production while U.S exports are estimated at 24.49 MMT or 29% of U.S production. It appears both countries retain more of their production then they export. BTW, China imports 51% of total world bean imports."
You're just prooving my point, Agman. Brazil exports nearly half of their production already and they are still ramping up. They are claiming they want to feed the world, that shows they plan on continueing to increase production. Anybody down there has got to be concentrating on exports. Heck, they're telling us exactly that!
Agman, "Perhaps you have done your own studies regarding why corporations relocate their manufacturing facilities and where that production gets distributed. I am certain the Fed economists would like to be enlightened by the results of your extensive survey and analysis conducted from Valentine NE. The next time I meet with them, which will likely be in December, I will be certain to discuss your observations and conclusions with them. In fact, I will make a request that it have a high priority on their agenda. See, I am looking out for you Sandhusker."
Fine, Agman, you just do that. Here we have you and the fed saying "Businesses relocate to serve the local markets" and we have Carlos Brazilia saying, "We're going to feed the world"(EXPORTS) and Cargill expanding in that environment. I believe Carlos.
You like to tout your connections with the government like you've got the inside track on information, but I seem to remember you bring unaware that Japan was asking for tested beef. That's kind of a big one. I'd say your contacts "aint' much" or they're BSing you just like the rest of us. The difference between you and me is that I don't believe everything the government tells me.
