Meat consumption had the highest increase
According to Ciccra, the consumption of beef increased by 13.1% year-on-year in the first two months of the year.
This growth is explained by several factors:
Meat production reached 499 thousand tons of beef with bone.
The 33.7% drop in exports to China allowed more meat to remain in the domestic market.
The apparent consumption of meat in Argentina reached 392.7 thousand tons, 13.1% more than in 2024.
