For 2026, the global beef market is expected to remain positive, driven by a significant reduction in supply from key producers such as the United States and Europe, combined with resilient demand even amid higher prices. This balance is expected to support protein price appreciation in the international market, benefiting companies with a global footprint and the ability to diversify across markets.
