Argentina: Poultry and Products Update
2016 production is revised up by 105,000 tons to 2.2 million tons on higher domestic demand and minor export growth. 2015 production is revised up 20,000 tons to 2.08 million due to greater demand near the second half of the year – the result of an ongoing shift towards more inexpensive animal protein sources as beef prices continue to rise. 2016 exports are revised up by 5,000 tons to 230,000 tons fueled by growth in major markets – Middle East and East Asia - and new growth in smaller markets, such as Cuba.
