By Fabiana Batista JBS SA, the world’s largest meat producer, said its U.S. unit is boosting worker pay at beef plants and investing more than $130 million to increase processing capacity. The Brazil-based company is expanding capacity at two of its major beef processing facilities in Grand Island and Omaha, Nebraska, JBS said in a statement Wednesday. The $150 million in annualized pay increases is for workers across nine beef plants. The announcement comes as pressure mounts on the industry to share more of its profits with ranchers and workers. The expansions lift capacity by almost 300,000 head of cattle per year, providing “increased access and opportunity for the more than 1,100 local cattle producers who support the facilities,” JBS said.
