More cattle than Brazilians: IBGE data that makes it clear — corrals are a strategic investment

Recently, the IBGE, through the 2024 Municipal Livestock Survey (PPM), brought a fact that draws attention and reinforces the strength of the sector: there are more heads of cattle in Brazil than people.

• The estimated cattle herd was 238.2 million heads.

• The Brazilian population was around 212.6 million inhabitants in the same period.

This means that the number of cattle is about 12% greater than the number of people.

Implications for livestock farming

In livestock farming, numbers like these are pure gold. They reveal the magnitude of demand and make it clear: more cattle means more investment in infrastructure, logistics, and management. This is precisely where Currais Itabira's corrals come in—innovative projects that transform necessity into opportunity, bringing efficiency, durability, and value to the herd and the producer's business.

Here at Currais Itabira, we see this as a strategic opportunity: offering quality corrals tailored to the needs of producers who increasingly value proper housing for their herds. Therefore, our vision is to always be ahead of the curve, delivering solutions designed not only for today, but for a Brazil with more cattle, better practices, efficiency, and sustainability. 👉 Access: https://www.curraisitabira.com.br/
