Nevermind the crisis, Argentinian beef exports will rise!

Even if the financial crisis is stepping back in Argentina, the country's beef sector is expected to thrive on exports, according to a recent outlook issued by Rabobank.
"In terms of production costs, Argentine farmers have been the most competitive players in the global market. Even with the recent changes in the export taxes policy as a result of the country’s current economic turmoil, Rabobank expects Argentina to continue as a very efficient player.
Given the landscape of growing production and almost flat domestic demand, Argentina is likely to gradually boost its presence in the international beef market", says Adolfo Fontes, Senior Analyst - Animal Protein.
The share of Argentinian beef in international markets is secured by the country's very positive reputation as a high-quality beef producer, which, in time, will increase its exports.
"For the poultry and pork sectors, the scenario is still challenging. However, it is important to mention that, structurally, Argentina has an important advantage as a leading producer of feedstuff, which in turn likely translates into opportunities for the sector in the long term", added the analyst.
