Argentina tries to assure Kosher meat supply

The Argentine Foreign Ministry is rushing the arrival of rabbis from Israel for kosher certification of beef for export. This is an external sale that would represent a turnover of U$ 50M for the country, in a growing market that is expected to finish 2020 with 24K tons exported for U$ 170M.

98 rabbis will enter the country in order to grant kosher certification to 6 plants.

During the first three months of the year, Argentina has exported 8.5K tons of meat to Israel for a value of US $ 60 million, and a shipment of 15.5K tons is pending, which will result in a foreign exchange income of close to U$ 110M.

The Israeli market is of vital importance for Argentina since it has exhibited an upward trend and a price differential of 42% over the rest of the markets in recent years.
