As a result, this abundance of supply in China drives Brazilian beef prices lower, compelling exporters to narrow the gap between asking and buying levels.<\/span><span

The \u201cBoi Gordo\u201d cattle price index declined to BRL 332\/15 kg on December 4, down 5.6% from its recent peak. Reduced working hours at slaughterhouses, cost-saving measures like employee vacations, and difficulty passing on higher costs to China have all weighed on live cattle prices.
