In the worldwide context with relevant repercussion, world food crisis demonstrates that Brazilian food industry presents great evolutions, has plenty potential to supply the local market and is able to challenge the highly competitive of the external market.

The food industry is a very important pillar on Brazilian economy. This sector 2007 revenue was $144 billion, an increase of 10.6% versus prior year, when the revenue figured $130 billion, said the research publicized by ABIA (Associação Brasileira das Indústrias da Alimentação). More than $123 billion of the 2007 revenue were from meal sector and $21 billion from beverage.

Despite the expressive amount, there are few studies related to the competitiveness of Brazilian food industry.

The economy transition from an agrarian-exporting to an industrial economy, coupled with the commercial opening, brought substantial modifications to Brazilian companies, since the growing external competition demanded a new orientation, based on quality and satisfaction to the final consumer.

Nowadays food industry lives in a new wave of investment for mergers, acquisitions and expansion, being the external capital the key contributor. The investments can take place on two distinct moments: the installation and the acquisition. Investment at the installation time demands time and planning and however investment on the acquisition moment requires as much planning, the productive reaction is immediate.

Brazilian food industry is a sector that experienced many corporative and organizational modifications, since the process of mergers and acquisitions brought up a new competitive orientation for its productive units.

Despite the advance observed on Brazilian food industry, the sector has great potential of growth. Besides the population increase, that enlarges the demand for food, the increase consumption of families due to higher income is another important factor.

Today, Brazilian food industry has much to celebrate. Brazil is one of export leader of many products, such as bovine meat, pork, frozen chicken, fruits and juices.

To achieve the actual rank of meat export leader, Brazil had to look for technology development to attend the external markets strict requires.

G1 Brazil, always watchful on tendencies for investment in the local market, select as an investment opportunity in Brazil food companies related to poultry cold storage, with mechanized line production and cleared with Brazilian federal inspection. The poultry business has great perspectives at the local market for the near future, and the exportation permission allows a large increase on revenue.
