Aurora Alimentos set to resume operations at all of its plants

Aurora will restart the activity at all 16 of its plants that process 1 million birds per day, 20,000 pigs and 1.6 million liters of milk.

Representatives from Aurora told O Estado de S. Paulo that the company will negotiate with truck drivers and will resort to police force if necessary to ensure the production flow.

According to the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA), the nine-day protest has forced producers to cull nearly 70 million birds, while about 1 billion chickens and 20 million pigs were not receiving the necessary amount of feed.

Furthermore, because of the strike, volumes close to 120,000 tons of chicken and pork have ceased to be exported.

According to Financial Times, the crisis cost the industry so far about $350 million in losses.
