JBS USA, which includes the former XL Beef plant in Alberta, reported revenues increased by 18.8 per cent and a profit increase of 10.9 per cent to $6.7 billion.
"The strong demand in the domestic and international markets sustained beef prices at high levels, providing good margins for Beef US and Canada," the company said.
Its head office is in Brazil and it is the world’s largest meat-packing company.
