Tridge summary

The eighth edition of the Buffalo Festival in Caá Catí, Corrienres, saw the auction of bubalines, a species similar to bovines but with potential for more profitable production. A group of about 100 producers, guided by CREA, conducted an analysis at the San Antonio ranch in Loreto, concluding that buffalo farming is economically promising, especially in challenging environments like marshes, due to lower production costs per kilo of meat.
