Resumo: Like other sectors of Brazilian agriculture cattle ranching has undergone extraordinary transformations in the last fifty years. A traditional activity established throughout the country since the beginning of colonization, it was until recently characterized by extensive production and low productivity.  But today it is a modern productive agricultural activity capable of competing in the international market. Brazil is today one of the most important producers and exporters in the world of animal protein, involving cattle, pigs and poultry. It has the largest cattle herd in the world and one of the largest stocks of chickens and swine.  In turn it is the world's largest exporter of beef and veal, accounting for about a quarter of the world’s exports, and is also the world’s largest exporter of processed chicken meat and the third largest exporter of processed pork meat. How this change occurred is the question we examine in this essay.

Atividadetradicional estabelecida no país desde o início da colonização, caracterizava-se atérecentemente pela criação extensiva e de baixa produtividade. Embora a pecuáriaargentina apresentasse características similares, no final do século XIX essa atividademodernizou-se na Argentina, mas o Brasil permaneceu um produtor tradicional.No entanto, atualmente o Brasil apresenta uma atividade agrícola moderna e capazde ocupar posição de destaque no mercado internacional de proteína animal. Opaís possui o maior rebanho bovino do mundo e grandes rebanhos de frangos esuínos. Por sua vez, é o maior exportador mundial de carne bovina, com participaçãode um quarto nas exportações mundiais. Lidera também o comércio decarne de frango e ocupa a terceira posição nas exportações de carne de porcoprocessada. Como e por que essas mudanças ocorreram, e como se comparam comas ocorridas na Argentina são as questões que examinamos neste ensaio.ABPHE2023-11-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hehe.org.br/index.php/rabphe/article/view/91410.29182/hehe.v26i3.914Economic History & Business History; Vol. 26 No. 3 (2023); 561-598História Econômica & História de Empresas; v. 26 n. 3 (2023); 561-5982525-81841519-331410.29182/hehe.v26i3reponame:Revista História Econômica & História de Empresas (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Pesquisadores em História Econômica (ABPHE)instacron:ABPHEporhttps://hehe.org.br/index.php/rabphe/article/view/914/564Copyright (c) 2023 Francisco Vidal Luna, Herbert S.
