Argentina takes top spot in beef exports to China

23/09/2019
Figures for the first seven months of 2019 suggest that Argentinean packers shipped more than 185,000 tonnes of beef to China with a value of $870 million.

These figures represent a doubling in value for Argentina compared to the same period in 2018, and the country has overtaken its neighbour Brazil in supplying China with beef.

Over the seven months, 21.7% of the beef China imported came from Argentina. The figure for Brazil was 21%.
