BRF S.A. was formed in 2009 through the merger of Sadia and Perdigu00e3o, two major Brazilian food companies. Sadia was founded in 1944 and Perdigu00e3o in 1934. This merger created one of the world's largest food companies. Since then, BRF has expanded internationally through acquisitions and organic growth.

  • Sausages (Sadia and Perdigu00e3o brands): Sausages are a major product line, sold under the Sadia and Perdigu00e3o brands. These are market leaders in Brazil. Competition includes Seara (JBS) and Aurora Alimentos. Market share data is difficult to pin down precisely due to regional variations and product categories, but BRF is a significant player, estimate 20-25% in the Brazilian market across various sausage types.
  • Frozen Chicken (Sadia and Perdigu00e3o brands): BRF produces a significant volume of frozen chicken, exported globally. Competitors are JBS (Seara), Tyson Foods (TSN), and Pilgrim's Pride (PPC).
