Minerva enters the sheep market

A Minerva Foods (BEEF3), The largest beef exporter in Latin America, announced the purchase of two bakeries for lamb in Australia (Shark Lake and Great Eastern Appetizer), through a mixed control company with Saudi Salik, established in February for investment purposes.

The total investment of the joint venture in this project will be US $ 35 million, with Minerva contributing approximately $ 20 million to the acquisition of assets, the investment in the assassination and processing plants and the working capital. Minerva will hold 65% stake and Salik (Minerva’s parent company with 33.7% share capital) will hold the remaining 35%.

Australia is the world’s largest exporter of sheep / mutton, with about 67 million heads. Minerva already has a lamb protein trading activity in the country and Salik already has a farm dedicated to food security, ensuring the distribution of flocks during property growth and maturation. Thus, the acquisition will complete the sheep production chain in the region.

Currently, JPS is the absolute leader in lamb protein in the country, with about 6 million heads being slaughtered annually. Minerva, by fully maturing plants after investments, can reach 1 million heads per year in assassination capacity, earning about $ 1 billion.

The lamb division seems to be more relevant to Minerva, which already aims to extend its export operations, including focusing on Australia. The completeness of the operations already conducted in the country with Salik makes sense and the acquisition becomes strategic with the geographical diversification and expansion of the interactive market.

Although the potential results are small compared to Minerva’s total results, we see the movement positively, generating approximately $ 24 billion in revenue per year
