The European Union has allocated the Hilton Quota to four companies in La Pampa, Argentina, for exporting high-quality, high-value boneless beef cuts. The largest share of this quota is held by Arre Beef S.A, Compania Bernal S.A, Coto, Friar S.A, Frigorifico Gorina, Frigorifico Rioplatense, Quickfood S.A, and Swift Argentina S.A. The Argentine government is also working to increase beef exports to Japan, currently restricted to cuts from the foot-and-mouth disease-free zone without vaccination. A delegation from Japan visited the Gorina Refrigerator model plant to explore potential export opportunities.
