Farmers from Rio Grande do Sul to sell 25,000 live heads of cattle to Lebanon by the end of the year
The first shipment – of 8,500 heads of cattle – took place last week, from Rio Grande port, in southern Brazil. Up to the end of the year, there should be another two shipments of similar magnitude. The sale satisfied farmers who, due to the drought in the region, are currently going through financial difficulties. The animals were sold at prices ranging from US$ 0.51 and US$ 0.57 per kilogram.
