Argentine agricultural company, Paladini, is set to make history by becoming the first to export chilled and boneless pork to Uruguay, following a drop in domestic sales and severe floods in Brazil. The export, valued at around US$2,500 per ton and totaling 50,000 tonnes, is expected to generate approximately US$125 million. Other Argentine companies have also received authorization for these exports. Paladini, which rears 12,000 sows across two production centers, plans to start by selling various pork products to Uruguay's cold cuts industry and then introduce its branded products. The company values the high genetic quality and lack of ractopamine use in Argentine pork, which is not common in other countries. This move is part of ongoing efforts to improve pork production between Argentina and Uruguay.
