ment
Minerva Foods not only understands that meat is a commodity, but also sees this as the basis of its operating strategy for large scale production, distribution channels suited to operations and e ective risk man- agement. Faced with a volatile economic situation in 2016, these aspects were funda- mental to the Company’s solid growth, with a focus on producing beef in South Ameri- ca and exporting to the global market. Planning, agility and discipline were need- ed to assure sustainable development with- in various areas of action, especially on three closely connected work fronts: geo- graphic diversi cation, growth in distribu- tion channels and strengthening of the sales area – an operating strategy underpinned by e cient actions.
