Argentina's slow climb back to major protein exporter

An article in local media points to efforts of Argentina to regain its market share in red meat exports globally.
"At the beginning of the 2000s, Argentina was among the top five beef exporters in the world, only surpassed by great cattle powers such as the United States, Brazil and Australia.
However, during the last 17 years he has lost positions in that global ranking to the point that for this year it already ranks it in number 11, surpassed by nations like New Zealand, Canada, India, or partners in Mercosur: Uruguay And Paraguay. According to a document from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), for 2017 Argentina is reserved the 11th place, with a level of exports that will be about 250,000 tons, when a total of 9,641,000 tons of beef. According to the official agency of the United States, the three largest global suppliers this year will be India with 1,850,000 tons; Brazil with 1,800,000 tons and Australia with 1,400,000 tons."

In February 2017, beef exports totaled 18 thousand tons of product weight, equivalent to 25 thousand tons of beef, implying an increase of 10 percent over the final figure of the previous month, which fell to 23 thousand tons Weight res In the first two months of this year, shipments have remained firm and relatively stable. This is a consequence of the evolution of both chilled and frozen meat.
