SAO PAULO, April 29 (Reuters) - BRF, one of

the world's largest chicken and pork meat processors, expects to

complete its purchase of a factory in Henan, China, in the

coming days, the company's vice president of finance and

investor relations, Fabio Mariano, told Reuters.

The unit is expected to begin production in May. The 460

million real ($81.7 million) deal, including investments, was

announced in November and marks BRF's entry as a meat producer

in China, Brazil's most important market for protein exports.
