JBJ Agropecuária, controlled by José Batista Júnior, has agreed to acquire Fazenda Conforto, one of Brazil’s largest feedlot operations, located in Nova Crixás (Goiás). The deal has been submitted to Cade and still depends on regulatory approval.
The transaction includes all assets, from land and production infrastructure to equipment and facilities. The property spans around 12,000 hectares and combines backgrounding, feedlot finishing and crop farming, with a focus on cattle and grain production.
For JBJ, the acquisition aligns with its strategy of integrating along the beef value chain, strengthening its presence from production to commercialization, with potential operational and logistical improvements.
From a competitive standpoint, the parties consider that there will be no significant market impact. Both JBJ and Fazenda Conforto supply cattle to JBS, while the closing of the transaction remains subject to customary conditions, including Cade approval, Bloomberg Línea reported.
