Argentina: Poultry and Products Annual
2016 Argentine broiler production is expected to reach a record 2.1 million metric tons (MMT) on modest growth in the export sector. Domestic consumption is estimated to be stagnant at 1.85 MMT as consumption of other animal proteins remains strong. Argentina is looking to open new markets that would replace the loss of Venezuela as the largest market for Argentine poultry shipments. The sanitary conditions of the country as well as its production capacity continue to be excellent, which make Argentina a key player to meet growing global demand.
