JBS N.V. is one of the largest meat processing companies in the world. It slaughters and packages beef, pork, and chicken, then sells those products to grocery stores, restaurants, and food distributors. The company owns well-known brands like Pilgrim's Pride (chicken in the US), Seara (Brazil), and Primo (Australia), and operates across the entire packaged foods supply chain from farms to store shelves.

JBS makes money by buying livestock, processing it into cuts and packaged products, and selling those at a markup to retailers and foodservice customers. It operates in dozens of countries, with major operations in the United States, Brazil, Australia, and Europe, making it a truly global protein supplier. Its scale gives it a cost advantage over smaller competitors, but the business faces real risks from volatile cattle and feed prices, thin margins, food safety incidents, and ongoing regulatory and environmental scrutiny tied to its large carbon footprint.
