October 3: There is a strong rumor in Uruguay about the decision of the Pérez Companc Group to abandon the refrigeration sector in that country, with the sale of the San Jacinto plant, long owned by the Argentine group. The most likely candidates for its purchase are Uruguayan operators, according to information from Blasina y Asociados. This would be a new change in the Uruguayan refrigeration map, after the announcement of the sale of three of the Marfrig plants to Minerva.
October 4: 52.8 million heads were vaccinated in the first foot-and-mouth vaccination campaign of this year, only 200 thousand less (0.4%) than the comparable one last year, despite the historic drought. There was no difference in cows and calves, and calves increased one point. Steers with the greatest drop (4%) and steers and heifers 1-2% less. Surprising and auspicious numbers.
October 5: Global protein inventories are very high at the moment and weighing on beef markets, Rabobank said. As positive factors for the future, he indicated the run-up to the Chinese Lunar New Year, at the beginning of 2024, and the contraction in US production and exports. This evolution was described as “a slightly brighter light at the end of a tunnel for the livestock industry.”
