Argentine export restrictions cause turmoil in the beef sector

摘要

Trade minister Guillermo Moreno's recent announcement that he will restrict beef exports for 60 to 90 days, coupled with looming price controls, is causing turmoil in Argentina's beef supply chain and raising doubts in foreign markets about Argentina's viability as a global beef supplier."Meat exporters are going to suffer if the current climate of generalized uncertainty undermines our reputation as meat suppliers to the world," explains Gustavo Hardt, beef specialist for the Buenos Aires and Pampa Federation of Rural Associations.
