SAO PAULO, Sept 16 (Reuters) - The use of drugs like Mounjaro and Ozempic are boosting demand for protein around the world, Wesley Batista, controlling shareholder of the world's largest meat company JBS Z98.F, said on Tuesday during an event in Sao Paulo.
Batista said 15 million Americans make frequent use of such weight-loss drugs, adding no data is yet available to quantify precisely the rise in meat demand tied to use of these drugs.
