Argentina’s beef export revenues hit a record $3.7 billion (C$5.0 billion) in 2025, up 22.3 per cent from the previous year, the country’s economy ministry said on Friday, citing surging prices, strong global demand and consolidation in markets including the United States.
The exported volume reached 853,183 tons of bone-in beef equivalent, the ministry added in a statement.
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump in October of last year said it was quadrupling low-tariff imports of Argentine beef in an attempt to lower grocery store beef prices.
In addition to the U.S., Argentina consolidated key international markets including the European Union, China and Israel, the statement added.
The ministry said international beef prices in December 2025 rose 35.6 per cent compared to the same month in 2024, reaching the highest nominal level in the sector’s history.
