Beef exports from Argentina fell by 5% in April compared to the same month last year, totaling 47,000 product weight tons or 67,000 beef weight tons, according to the ABC Argentine Meat Exporters Consortium. The first four months of 2022 saw a consolidated loss of 6% in beef exports, with only Russia continuing to buy less beef from Argentina compared to 2021. However, prices paid remain 31% higher than previous years. The war between Russia and Ukraine has also impacted meat exports, with a 90% drop in exports to Russia in the first four months of this year. Additionally, the consortium noted that offal exports to Russia have also seen a significant decrease due to the COVID-19 situation in Shanghai, which has interrupted the relative improvement in meat trade seen in the first months of 2022.
