CATTLE FOR EXPORT AND SALE TO OTHER STATES MORE THAN TRIPLED

With the new phenomenon, more than tripled in the last five years, the output of local properties to be fattened and slaughtered overseas or in other States (see table). Only Interstate sales were multiplied by four since 2008. Much are calfs and young animals to feedlots. The main destination is Sao Paulo and the buyer, the JBS, which do not slaughter cattle in the State.
For the consultant Fernando Velloso, the FF Velloso Agricultural Advice, Rock & Dimas in addition to the provision of part of the population to pay more for a superior product, the search for angus, hereford cattle and crosses is due to the movement of the replacement of imports refrigerators of Uruguay and Argentina. Velloso estimates that, including the GST in the Interstate sale and freight, refrigerators would be paying a surcharge of 20% on the value of the animal. For the price of noble courts, the investment seems to be worth it.

After a retreat in 2011, exports of cattle standing grew 165% in 2012. Second Velloso, is a reflection of the outside sales barriers imposed by the Uruguayan Government. As well as in the neighboring country, the output of slaughter animals is a cause of contention between producers and industry. For ranchers, is a way of getting better prices due to lack of competition of refrigerators.

In Sao Borja, a group of producers gathered to sell angus and hereford breeds animals to feedlots in other States. The creator Cristiano Ruschel Freitas confirms the trend of a higher price in this kind of negotiation with the industries.
-Sell on average 2 000 animals per month – stresses.
To the President of the Union of meat and derivatives Industry in the State (Sicadergs), Suni Lauxen, the situation hurts the economy. The number of 85.5 thousand animals brought the State in 2012, estimates, equivalent to annual slaughter of three refrigerators. So, would be about 800 direct jobs lost. The escape also contribute to the idleness of about 30% of the sector in the State, as well as decrease the availability of inputs for the leather-footwear industry, feed mills and pet products. If they were killed in the State, would be generated around r $ 4 million in GST, design.
