This record is above the numbers that were presented last year, implying a considerable rebound as a result of the fall that had occurred in the slaughter during 2021, after restrictions were applied to external markets.
However, local dynamics seem to have recovered a good part of the pace that they had in previous years, if we compare this year's results with previous processing levels, we find that animal slaughter is less than 1% below the 8.9 million heads slaughtered during the same period of 2018 and 2019, although the drop compared to 2020 is greater.
On the other hand, it should be noted that, as a compensating effect, this year's meat production exceeds that of previous years, since the animals that are being sent to slaughter are heavier and, therefore, a greater number of kilos is obtained. after processing.
