Until last Friday (01), 163 poultry and pork slaughterhouses throughout the country had resumed activities after being affected by the truck drivers’ strike, reports the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA).
“The expectation is that, until next week, all agroindustries producing and processing poultry and pig farming will resume activities,” the entity said in a statement.
According to ABPA, activities will be resumed in a gradual manner. Production is expected to recover to normal by 60 days.
Also over the next few days, representatives of agroindustries will survey the accumulated losses in this strike period. The initial expectation is more than R $ 3 billion, including sales losses in the domestic market, dead animals, logistic costs, export contract losses and others.
