Slaughter and beef consumption go back up in Argentina
23/01/2013
Numbers are still substantially lower than those of 2009, when the figures began a sharp decline, but compared to the same period in 2011, the first nine months of 2012 showed a rise.
Between January and September 2012, Argentinean abattoirs slaughtered 8.5 million head of cattle, an increase of 3.8% on the same period in 2011. Over the same nine-month period in 2012, official figures show a 7% increase in domestic beef consumption.
