Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, Argentina's turkey meat market volume grew modestly from 31 801 tonnes to 32 020 tonnes. This period saw the introduction of regulatory measures such as a quality protocol for frozen prefried products and updated labeling requirements for meat items, which standardized production practices without impeding market expansion.

Beginning in 2021, the market entered a decline, with volume dropping to 30 568 tonnes by 2023. This contraction aligned with the implementation of the Healthy Eating Promotion Law, mandating front-of-pack warning labels for products high in sugars, sodium, or fats, which affected processed turkey meat. Subsequent decrees in 2022 specified technical labeling rules and strict storage temperatures, adding compliance costs for the industry.

The downturn was further driven in 2023 by supply-side disruptions, notably the closure of a major poultry plant due to avian influenza outbreaks and the loss of export markets. This reduced domestic turkey production and availability, contributing to the overall decrease in market volume.
