Beef outputs depend on the size of the cattle industry and how much land is used for grazing. Brazil is cited because it has the largest cattle herd in the world and a long-standing, export-oriented beef sector. Its vast pastureland supports massive ranching, leading to very high production and strong export markets. That combination makes Brazil the leading reference for beef outputs, ahead of Canada and the United States, with Russia producing comparatively less.
