In recent years, modern swine farming has become a prominent topic in the pork industry. With growing interest in more sustainable practices, companies like Aurora Cooperative, one of the largest in Brazil, are innovating to overcome the challenges of the swine industry. The key question is: how can environmental liabilities be turned into market opportunities? In this post, we’ll explore how Aurora tackled the issue of pig waste and how V&F Consulting became a strategic partner in this journey.
Aurora Cooperative faces a major challenge: managing pig waste. These residues create significant environmental impacts and are one of the primary concerns for the pork industry. However, this issue also presents an opportunity: the transformation of waste into organic fertilizers. But before moving forward with the project, a crucial question needed to be answered: is there enough demand in the market to make organic fertilizer production viable in southern Brazil?
To answer this question, Aurora turned to Sebrae, which recommended V&F Consulting to conduct a comprehensive market study. Our objective was clear: to analyze the commercial viability of organic fertilizers in Brazil and identify opportunities for expansion. We used our strategic decision-making framework to ensure that each step was backed by reliable data and realistic projections.
Our study gave Aurora Cooperative a clear view of how to turn the pig waste issue into an opportunity. We identified strong demand for organic fertilizers in both urban and rural gardens, and we also explored export opportunities, facilitated by proximity to ports in southern Brazil.
Additionally, our analysis took into account sustainable practices in swine farming and the impact of environmental regulations, ensuring that Aurora was prepared to meet legal requirements. The result? An informed, data-driven decision that allowed the cooperative to choose the safest and most profitable path forward.
V&F Consulting’s work enabled Aurora to make strategic decisions that not only solved the issue of pig waste management but also opened up new business opportunities aligned with sustainability in the swine industry. By adopting technologies for swine farming and transforming waste into valuable inputs, the cooperative is at the forefront of innovation in the swine industry.
In the end, Aurora Cooperative turned an environmental liability into a valuable asset, aligning itself with trends in the agribusiness and creating a sustainable business model. This is just one example of how well-informed decisions can lead to long-term success. At V&F, our purpose is clear: to help companies make decisions that not only ensure growth but also create a positive impact on the environment.
