Argentine seeks to accelerate the opening of beef exports to Japan
The Secretary for Production Coordination of the Ministry of Economy, Juan Pazo, received the Japanese ambassador, Yamauchi Hiroshi, with whom he outlined a roadmap to accelerate the opening of beef exports to the Asian country and reviewed bilateral issues in view of the G20 meeting, which will be held in Brazil. In addition, during the meeting the possibility of an official visit by Argentine officials to Japan was discussed.
The meeting with the representatives of Japan is part of the work being carried out by the National Government to rebuild a strategic trade relationship for the Argentine economy that has been neglected in recent years.
In this regard, a few weeks ago the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, received representatives of the Government of Japan, Japanese legislators and officials from its Embassy, a meeting in which work was done to advance the opening of beef exports to the Asian country and in defense agreements.
During the meeting, Pazo stressed that "it is very important for Argentina to recover and deepen the bilateral relationship with Japan" since it is "a strategic partner. We want to work together to generate more fluid trade between both countries".
Japan is one of the main importers of beef worldwide, with a total value of USD 2,929 million (503,939 tons) in 2023. It stands out for being a high-quality market, a segment in which Argentine can offer premium cuts.
