Ranchers in Aguascalientes have filed an amparo, or protective petition, to halt the importation of Argentine beef, citing health concerns and an alleged risk of oversupply leading to lower prices and unfair competition.

The move is supported by the Querétaro Regional Livestock Union, with concerns about potential negative health impacts and a breach of quality and safety standards. The case is under consideration by the National Agricultural Council and the National Confederation of Livestock Organizations.
