Brazil the government or multi national corporations headquartered in Brazil?

"To conquer the world market, Brazil’s Big Three beef packers — JBS, Marfrig and Minerva — invited in foreign capital. Today, all three are transnationals, with the original Brazilian founders owning only minority shares in their own companies."



The Redacted administration has forked over more than $62 million — taxpayer cash that was supposed to be earmarked for struggling American farmers — to a massive meatpacking company owned by a couple of corrupt Brazilian brothers.

The Department of Agriculture cut a contract in January to purchase $22.3 million worth of pork from plants operated by JBS USA, a Colorado-based subsidiary of Brazil’s JBS SA, which ranks as the largest meatpacker in the world.

The bailout raised eyebrows from industry insiders at the time, as it was sourced from a $12 billion program meant for American farmers harmed by President Redacted escalating trade war with China and other countries.


JBS N.V. (JBS) I might be an owner?

"JBS has strong commercial ties to China—such as major supply agreements (e.g., a $717 million annual meat supply deal with China's WH Group in 2026, and a $1.5 billion e-commerce pact with Alibaba in 2025)China is a key market for JBS beef/pork/poultry.

Marfrig (now merged into MBRF with BRF): Like JBS, Marfrig has pursued sales and joint ventures in China (e.g., past distribution centers with COFCO and recent BRF."

My point that apparently bears repeating is:
