About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Fevara's CEO about the company's transformation and growth strategy, particularly in Brazil.

Fevara (FVA:127p) may be new in name, but its roots and expertise stretch back more than a century through the former Carr’s Group. In the wake of this major transformation, the livestock supplements company’s focus is now on improving farming productivity through its advanced animal feed technology and supplements, and overseas expansion. Alongside chief executive Joshua Hoopes, Alex Newman and Lord Lee delve into the company’s strategy both at home and in South America. They cover Fevara’s lofty ambitions in Brazil – its acquisitions so far, the competitive advantages of the country, and the company’s targets for long-term growth.  They also discuss why Hoopes believes Fevara can continue growing despite structural changes across the agricultural sector, and issues concerning sustainability and the climate crisis. The trio also explore shareholder returns, dividend policy and the outlook for global cattle markets.
