Brazil-Only four meat companies likely to survive.

Four of Brazil’s biggest beef industry names will survive the economic crisis, while others fade away, Fitch Ratings said in a special report on Brazilian beef published Wednesday. Despite the current credit problems, Brazil’s biggest beef names - Bertin, JBS (JBSS3.BR), Marfrig (MRFG3.BR) and Minerva (BEEF3.BR) - should see free-cash-flow generation turn positive this year.
