Earlier Report Observations
Between 2018 and 2020, the market volume for salted and dried beef in Argentina saw steady growth, rising from 80,610 kg to 85,750 kg. This expansion was underpinned by beef's role as a staple food, accounting for nearly a quarter of household spending on food. In 2020, the category of meats and derivatives began to increase at a rate above the general consumer price index, indicating a relative price rise that likely supported sustained production levels.
After a contraction in 2021, the market recovered in 2022, reaching 82,150 kg. This rebound occurred within a sector that provided significant employment, particularly in the Buenos Aires province, which accounted for over a third of the national cattle chain workforce. During this period, the National Commission for the Defense of Competition recommended enhancing product traceability to improve information for consumers, a move aimed at strengthening market foundations.
The market continued its recovery in 2023, climbing to 86,060 kg. A severe drought that year prompted an increase in cattle slaughter, boosting the supply of beef and leading to a 4% rise in apparent domestic consumption—the highest level in five years. However, this production surge came at the cost of a decade-low cattle inventory, which began to exert upward pressure on domestic prices and signaled a shift in the livestock cycle.
