Tridge summary

Argentina's Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries announced a breakthrough in international trade relations, revealing that 22 beef processing plants have been approved to export to Mexico after a 20-year absence. This achievement follows an eight-year negotiation process facilitated by Presidents Alberto Fernández and Andrés Manuel López Obrador, aiming to tap into Mexico's market for deboned and matured beef.
