Tyson Foods has secured an alliance with the Brazilian poultry breeder Globoaves, of Paraná state, in which the two companies agreed to produce and slaughter 60,000 chickens a day for a year.
Globoaves will be responsible for all of the process of producing the chickens, which will be sold to Tyson and processed in that company's meatpacking plant at Cascavel (PR).With certification to export to the European Union, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, Globoaves has been the focus of a dispute between Tyson and Brazilian food company Sadia for at least three years, according to published reports. Now, Globoaves will partner with Tyson, which entered Brazil in 2008, purchasing three small meatpacking companies that slaughter poultry.Tyson has been in contact with Globaves since 2006.
At the time, its aim was to form a joint venture project (and enter the Brazilian market), which was frustrated with the entry of Sadia S.A. into the competition. Sadia wound up signing a two-year contract with Globoaves, which expired on January 7.
According to Globoaves Director-President Roberto Kaefer, the decision not to renew the contract with Sadia was made by the two Brazilian companies.
“For our part, we wanted to be free to operate in whatever way we wanted. In the contract with Sadia, we sold the day-old chicks, but they supplied the corn and used our plants to mix the rations and slaughter the chickens. We charged for providing the service,” said Kaefer. The contract with Tyson brings more advantages, he added.
