Argentina and Uruguay reach first pork export agreement to Uruguay

Argentina has made its first pork export agreement with Uruguay, setting the price at US$2,500 per ton of frozen boneless meat. This comes as Uruguay has relied heavily on Brazil for pork imports, with 96% of its 2023 imports originating from Brazil. This new agreement will also see the signing of a cooperation agreement between the Argentine Pig Farming Association and the Uruguayan Pig Farming Association to enhance pig farming in both countries.
