THE MODERN CONSUMER IS EVOLVING!

Are you ready for this transformation?

The premium meat market is expanding, growing between 20 to 30% per year – a trend that also intensifies competition.

WHAT WILL YOU DO TO STAND OUT?

In this scenario, the key to success is continuous innovation, transparency, and a commitment to quality.

The current focus should be on customer loyalty through rigorous and reliable quality control.

THIS IS WHERE BRAZIL BEEF QUALITY COMES IN…

Inspired by carcass classification systems like Meat Standard Australia (MSA) and USDA Quality Grade, we have developed a solution capable of controlling quality and standardization through carcass and meat classification.

Through science and artificial intelligence (AI), we represent the cutting edge in efficient technological solutions.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Brazil Beef Quality’s technological package features a real-time management and reporting system that is essential for optimizing animal purchases and adding value to products.

In the meat sector, where margins can be tight, efficiency in cost management and product valorization are crucial.

About 80% of investments are tied to animal and carcass acquisition, so improvements in this aspect can significantly reduce expenses. Similarly, with meat sales representing about 90% of revenue, value addition is essential.

OUR SYSTEM OFFERS A SOLUTION TO OPTIMIZE THESE VARIABLES AND IMPROVE YOUR PROFIT MARGIN.

So, how to do it?

GRADING THE MEAT.

Making it clear that it has a seal of verification and origin that attests to its quality.

This classification is necessary due to the variability in quality among animals even when they are from the same batch.

And it goes further:

Using our advanced technologies, obtain precise carcass analyses to select the best producers and optimize purchases. We also offer detailed reports to producers, promoting continuous improvement and strengthening partnerships with the industry.

HOW IS THE
ASSESSMENT DONE?

Our data collection AI, Meat Image, analyzes commercially relevant characteristics through a single photo and within fractions of a second.

Next, the decision-making AI processes 15 pieces of information about the animal, the carcass, and the industrial processes, addressing vital points for the meatpacking industry.

Additionally, the advanced AI algorithms not only classify the meat accurately, segregating it into 3, 4, or 5-star levels, but also estimate the deboning yield.

SEE HOW THE GRADING SEALS MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE FINAL CONSUMER TO CHOOSE

The 3-star seal symbolizes good meat for everyday consumption. It is awarded when the carcass scores between 46 to 63 points.

The 4-star seal indicates "very good" meat for consumption, when it scores between 61 to 78 points.

Finally, the 5-star seal guarantees "excellent quality" meat, scoring above 78 points.

We are adapting and adjusting our quality seal to meet the requirements of different countries. With these changes, we can expand our presence in new markets and ensure that our quality standards meet international demands.
