Argentina is set to remain a powerhouse in global beef trade, with 2026 exports forecast at 830,000 tons carcass weight equivalent (CWE), the second highest on record. Robust international prices and a more competitive peso are breathing new life into packer margins. China will continue to dominate as the leading market, while shipments to the United States and European Union strengthen. Despite booming exports, beef production is expected to remain stagnant for a fifth straight year.
