However, the company believes that the industry was also in line with that reading, which allowed for a good balance between supply and demand, resulting in competitive prices for this time period.
On the other hand, in the United States, Bachoco continued to see challenging conditions that negatively affected the prices of raw materials, particularly white meat and leg quarters.
