The data of the Argentine Commercial Exchange (ICA) produced monthly by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC) and for bovine meat, the report was positive.
In detail and, according to the survey carried out by the Consortium of Argentine Meat Exporters (ABC), In July of this year, 65,500 tons by weight of beef product were placed abroad, which implies an increase of 27.5% compared to June 2023.
If the comparison is made in relation to the amount invoiced, it is observed that the equation is also positive, since a foreign exchange income of 271.3 million dollars was reachedwhich implies a monthly increase of 22.8% from June to July of this year.
In the year-on-year comparison, July of this year represented an increase in the volume of beef exports of around 9.8%but nevertheless, the value obtained was 21.4% lower than that achieved in July 2022.
China’s weight in beef
In the midst of the controversy that triggered the confirmation of Argentina’s entry into the BRICS by 2024 and the position of the candidates for president of the Nation, Javier Milei and Patricia Bullrich, It never hurts to explain that China buys 3 out of every 4 kilos of beef exported by the meat chain.
This is mainly due to the quality of the meat that is produced in our country.as well as the good bilateral relations maintained between Argentina and the People’s Republic of China.
But a fact should not be overlooked, the meat that China buys from Argentina is the one that we Argentines do not consume, which corresponds to the “cow” category and not to the “novillito” or “vaquillona”, which are not for internal consumption.
These cuts are characterized by having yellow fat, something that is not seen in Argentine butcher shops or in supermarkets. given that the tradition of consumption in our country has a high standard of quality. Just looking at these graphs you can understand the weight and importance of China for the meat export sector:
