Argentina: Livestock and Products Semi-annual
Link to report:
Argentine beef exports in 2022 are forecast at 700,000 tons, carcass weight equivalent, 30,000 tons below the official USDA number. This number is as the result of a marginally smaller slaughter and beef production than earlier projected. The ending stock for 2022 is lowered to 53.27 million head, 640,000 head lower than the official USDA number primarily because of a severe drought in north and northeastern Argentina combined with devastating fires in cow-calf areas, especially in Corrientes province, which will negatively affect the next calving season.
