Brazilian meat processor Marfrig will restructure multiple segments of the company between now and December in an effort to reduce costs and trim away at its current debt of BRL10.3 billion (5.8 billion dollars), the company's president said this week in an interview with Valor Economico newspaper, partly reproduced by Meat trade news Daily.
After a string of takeovers in recent years, Brazilian meatpacker Marfrig Alimentos SA said on Sunday it reached a deal to sell the logistics arm acquired when it bought US distributor Keystone Foods.
Brazilian leading meatpacker Marfrig will not be considering takeovers until 2012, Chief Executive Marcos Molina dos Santos said on Monday after the company posted a second-quarter net loss.
