SAO PAULO, Aug 13 (Reuters) - JBS, the world's

largest meat company, on Wednesday posted record quarterly net

revenues of nearly $21 billion even as it navigates a

challenging U.S. cattle cycle and deals with global geopolitical

tensions, according to an earnings release.

The company, which reported results for the first time after

listing shares on the New York Stock Exchange in June, recorded

net profit of $528.1 million in the second quarter, representing

a 60.6% annual rise.
