It is a little later than other leading beef exporters, but apparently after some deep thought (perhaps) this huge meat company has decided the Amazon should be protected.

Soya traders agreed to a moratorium on buying products destroying the Amazon in July, which was one great step in much greater protection of the Amazon. However, beef is the major issue because 80% of Amazon deforestation is due to cattle farming.

As the other companies had done, the leading meat exporter (JBS-Friboi) also agreed to not buy meat from farms that used slave labor or that raise their cattle on protected or indigenous lands.
