Argentina: Livestock and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   AR2024-0013
Argentine beef exports in 2025 are projected at a record 860,000 tons, carcass weight equivalent (cwe) as beef production is forecast to increase marginally. A larger herd and abundant calf crops 2 to 3 years ago are expected to support a slightly higher cattle slaughter. China is expected to continue to be the top export destination (measured in volume), but beef exports to the United States are forecast to remain strong given the import demand and Argentina’s current competitive prices. Domestic beef consumption is touching a record low as less expensive poultry and pork continue to gain on beef’s share.
