Brazilian meat company BRF-Brasil Foods (Nasdaq: BRFS) has had a solid run already. Basically a marriage of convenience between Perdigao and Sadia prompted by hideous derivative losses at Sadia, Brasil Foods has nevertheless formed itself into an impressive Brazilian food concern with significant export prospects. Perhaps even more to the point, in a year where most Brazilian equities fared quite badly indeed, this one did fairly well. Of course, the more important consideration is whether there's money to be made yet from this name.

Although far from a household name in the United States, Brasil Foods is in some respects a Brazilian version of Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN).

Unlike Tyson, and perhaps more like Hormel (NYSE: HRL) or Sara Lee (NYSE: SLE), Brasil Foods has a sizable branded business as well.
