RIO DE JANEIRO, April 9 (Xinhua) -- Brazilian meat giant Marfrig announced on Monday it had bought 51 percent of shares belonging to National Beef, the fourth largest American beef producer, for 969 million U.S. dollars.

Marfrig said that the acquisition had been wholly financed with a loan by bank Rabobank. Marfrig valued National Beef at 2.3 billion U.S. dollars, including debts.

"With this transaction, we will have operations in the two largest beef markets in the world, we will arrive to extremely sophisticated consumer countries," said the statement, adding that "we have managed to grow while maintaining rigorous financial discipline."
