Argentina: Poultry and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   AR2024-0014
Post projects 2025 Argentine chicken meat production to rise to 2.55 million metric tons (MMT), while exports are projected at 180,000 metric tons as the Chinese market remains closed to Argentine exports. The Argentine poultry industry has reopened almost all markets lost as a result of the Avian Influenza outbreaks in February 2023 other than China but the industry remains optimistic and believes the market will be reopened soon. As economic difficulties continue to affect Argentine consumers, the lower relative price of chicken to beef means per capita consumption of chicken is approaching parity with beef, the traditional protein preferred by Argentines. While total consumption continues to rise, per capita consumption is expected to plateau.
