Argentine: Volume of meat exported in September fell by 5,3 percent
In September, the volume of meat exported was 54,400 tons, for a total amount of US$ 300 million. Thus, the year-on-year comparison was also lower: -2% in volume and -5.4% in sales.
However, the accumulated figure for the first nine months continues to show positive results in both items, with 472,500 tons (+8.2%) and US$ 2,753 million (+36.2%) from foreign sales.
China accounted for 77.4% of exported volumes in September 2022; and 76.9% of the accumulated in the first nine months of the year
The declines were due to lower shipments to the European Union (EU), Israel, Chile and the United States, added to a general drop in international prices.
The bulk of shipments were destined for China both for September and for the accumulated figure for the first nine months of the year.
In the last month, 9,200 tons of bone-in beef and bovine bones resulting from deboning were shipped to China, for a value of US$ 14.7 million, and just over 33,000 tons of boneless beef, for US$ 181.9 million.
