Argentina: Livestock and Products Semi-annual
Argentina’s herd size, slaughter and stock numbers remain unchanged from 2018. Argentine beef exports for 2019 are forecast to rise by 15 percent to a ten-year high of 585,000 tons carcass weight equivalent. China accounts for more than half of total exports with exports to the US of premium chilled and grass-fed beef cuts, although minimal under newly gained market access, could reach 10,000-15,000 tons in 2019.
