Brazilian animal protein company JBS SA CEO, Wesley Batista, talks to the WSJ's Cowley and Magalhaes about its growth and acquisition strategies. Brazil's National Economic and Social Development Bank, Bndes, has supported JBS with large investments and now has a 20% equity stake in JBS. JBS now owns cattle and chicken properties in North America, South America and Brazil. It sees improving profitability in beef after Japan reduced restrictions on beef imports from the U.S. Batista sees growth coming from chicken as people in emerging market countries consume more chicken. Billions of dollars in investment in the U.S. to buy beef, poultry and pork plants have made JBS the leading company in this market, and the largest chicken producer in the world. JBS investments in the U.S. include Swift & Company, Pilgrim's Pride Corp.
