This book examines the meat provision system of Rio de Janeiro from
the 1850s to the 1930s. Until the 1920s, Rio was Brazil's economic
hub, main industrial city, and prime consumer market. Meat
consumption was an indicator of living standards and a matter of
public concern. The work unveils that in the second half of the
nineteenth century, the city was well supplied with red meat.
Initially, dwellers relied mostly on salted meat; then, in the
latter decades of the 1800s, two sets of changes upgraded fresh
meat deliveries. First, ranching expansion and transportation
innovation in southeast and central-west Brazil guaranteed a
continuous flow of cattle to Rio. Second, the municipal
centralization of meat processing and distribution made its
provision regular and predictable. By the early twentieth century,
fresh meat replaced salted meat in the urban marketplace. This
study examines these developments in light of national and global
developments in the livestock and meat industries.
