JBS is a global leader in protein production and processing that slaughters and processes beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and fish, selling fresh, processed, and value-added meat products to restaurant chains, food processors, distributors, and supermarket chains across seven geographic and business segments. The company operates integrated processing facilities in major markets including the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, where it serves both domestic customers and export markets. Revenue is generated by selling protein products at the point of customer pickup or delivery, with profitability dependent on the spread between livestock and feed costs—which fluctuate based on commodity market prices, climate conditions, and global agricultural supply dynamics beyond management's control.
