The Minister of Agriculture, , expressed his dissatisfaction with Carrefour’s decision to interrupt the purchase of Brazilian meat and supported the decision of meat and chicken producers in Brazil to suspend their sales to the supermarket chain. Fávaro considered the attitude of Carrefour’s global president, Alexandre Bompardas “inadmissible” in an interview with Globonews.
He recalled that France has been importing Brazilian meat for four decades and that the sanitary quality of Brazilian products is an important differentiator.

Large companies in the sector, such as JBS and Masterboi, have already taken the decision to suspend their sales to Carrefour in Brazil.
