Argentina: success in beef, pork and dairy exports in September

September was a landmark month for the Argentine agro-industry, especially in the export of beef and dairy products. Statistics show a marked increase in both the volume and value of exported products, reflecting the strong demand for Argentine products on international markets.

Beef exports

Argentina exported 74,812 tons of beef in September, 3% more than in August and 11% more than in the same period last year. The total value of shipments amounted to US$301.95 million. The main market for Argentine beef was Brazil, which absorbed 58.1% of total exports. This highlights the importance of the Brazilian market for Argentine producers and shows that Argentine beef continues to be popular for its quality and flavor characteristics.

Dairy products

Exports of dairy products also showed positive results, totaling 31,019 tons worth US$115.2 million. Shipments increased by 11.3% and the value increased by 9.9% year-on-year. This shows that Argentine dairy products such as cheese and milk are increasingly recognized in foreign markets, opening up new opportunities for producers.

Pork exports

Equally important is the growth in pork exports, which increased by 35.1% in the first nine months of 2024. This shows that Argentine producers are actively diversifying their exports, allowing them to reduce their dependence on traditional markets.

Opening new markets

Argentina has also made significant strides in expanding its export opportunities. The country was able to reduce imports and open the South African market for porcine hemoglobin powder. As a result, 11,900 tons of the product have been certified for shipment to countries such as Colombia, Vietnam, Thailand and Mexico. This opens new horizons for Argentine producers and strengthens their position in the international arena.
