ABSTRACT

HOW DO THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MEAT RELATE TO THE SIZE OF THE RETAILER? THE CASE IN RIO GRANDE DO NORTE IN THE SCOPE OF THE 'DO PASTO AO PRATO' PROJECT.

Understanding the processes of meat production, distribution, and consumption is essential for the transition to more sustainable food systems. Although 80% of the meat produced in Brazil is destined for the domestic market, there is still limited information about the supply chain and the relationship between the type of meat sold and the size

of the retailers. This study aimed to identify the factors and actors that

influence the characteristics of the meats available in retailers, with a focus on the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Our hypotheses suggested that the size of the retailer would be related to the level of processing, the sanitary quality of the meats, and the distance from the supplier slaughterhouse. To test these hypotheses, we used a mixed- methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data. Secondary data were collected through the "Do Pasto ao Prato" app, and complemented by interviews with professionals in the meat supply chain to understand the local dynamics. The statistical analyses included Generalized Linear Models and Multinomial Logistic Regression. The results showed that the meat sold in Rio Grande do Norte is mostly sourced from other regions of Brazil, traveling long distances. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, larger retailers, such as "Hiper/Supercenters," obtain meat from shorter distances. Regarding the level of processing, the results were not statistically significant, although an opposite trend to the original hypothesis was observed, with smaller retailers, such as convenience stores, selling more ultra- processed meats. Additionally, the results on sanitary quality were inconclusive, with no statistically significant differences between retailers of different sizes. We hope that the results of this study will contribute to the development of policies that promote the transition to more sustainable and transparent meat retail systems.
