Argentina is struggling to reopen its chicken meat exports to China after a bird flu outbreak led to a market closure in early 2023, causing significant financial losses. Despite regaining bird flu-free status, Argentina has not yet received approval to resume exports, unlike countries such as Chile. President Javier Milei plans to visit China in January 2025 to address these challenges, which also affect Argentina's beef and pork sectors. Additionally, a change in authorized signatories for sanitary protocols, due to Juan Pazo's role change, may cause further delays for exporters, although the government aims to minimize disruptions through delegation by Minister Luis Caputo.
