Marfrig's upgrade to Ba3 reflects the company's strong operational performance and improvement in credit metrics over the past couple of years, positive industry perspectives and adequate liquidity, which increases its ability to weather the volatility of the beef business. The upgrade incorporates the expectation that, despite the concentration in the beef segment, Marfrig will be able to maintain steadier operating performance overtime. The Ba3 rating is supported by Marfrig's scale as the second largest beef producer globally, its good geographic footprint and diversification in terms of raw material sourcing, which reduce weather-related risks and animal diseases.
The Chinese city of Wuhan said on Friday it had detected the novel coronavirus on the packaging of a batch of Brazilian beef, as it ramped up testing of frozen foods this week as part of a nationwide campaign. The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission said in a statement on its website it had found three positive samples on the outer packaging of frozen, boneless beef from Brazil. The beef had entered the country at Qingdao port on Aug. 7 and it reached Wuhan on Aug. 17, where it remained in a cold storage facility until recently.
