摘要:This article has the main objective of analyzing the internationalization process of Brazilian companies that operate in the animal protein sector (beef, pork, and poultry) from the year 2000 and the role of the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) in this process. The article was developed using a qualitative methodological approach by adhering to procedures of a bibliographical and documental survey; the data published in annual reports from companies from the animal protein sector, listed in BM&FBOVESPA, were analyzed, as well as data from the annual reports from BNDES. The main strategy implemented by Brazilian companies to obtain access to major world markets has been the diversification of performance in the production chain through the acquisition of companies (processing industries and distributors) in producing countries that do not face great resistance for export (Uruguay, Argentina, Australia) and in the major markets (U.S. and Europe). These companies are funded directly or indirectly with BNDES resources.
