JBS also highlighted the resilience of its Seara processed food business amid an outbreak of bird flu in Brazil. But while that unit struggled, the company's Brazilian and Australian beef operations stayed healthy. A 50% US tariff on Brazilian products, including beef, is also weighing on Brazilian meatpackers in general. Tomazoni said JBS accounts for around 15% share of Brazilian beef exports to the US, where it also operates many factories. Because of the tariff, Tomazoni said certain JBS factories in Brazil briefly stopped production.
