Beef cattle. Production. Tendencies. Scenarios.Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze the future of beef cattle production in Brazil in comparison with evidence already found in the literature. To achieve this proposal, the document “The future of the Brazilian beef production chain: a vision for 2040” is used as a documentary basis for the search for indications of the occurrence of these trends in the country. A documentary analysis was carried out in the technical publication of Vision for 2040 for the production link in the production chain and a search on an international basis in search of research with empirical evidence in the Brazilian context. The results showed that it is possible to show that all general themes on land use, management, productive structure, management, environment and commercialization of animals, have already been addressed in research, as well as most of their specific themes. With the exception of the orientation towards technology in the field, which is still a challenge for most of the ranchers due to its high cost of implementation. All other sub-themes that were correlated with the evidence, are in line with the trends presented in the document on the future of Brazilian beef cattle production. The biggest relevance of the Embrapa document is to introduce the trends that offer decision-makers possible scenarios for formulating strategies that make them more competitive in the beef market.
