Numa medida radical, que surpreendeu o setor, o frigorífico Independência suspendeu ontem, por tempo indeterminado, o abate de bovinos em suas dez unidades em operação no país. No começo do mês, a empresa já tinha fechado, também por tempo indefinido, a planta de Campo Grande (MS) com a justificativa de otimizar a produção por conta da restrição de oferta de bois para abate.
