The need to increase operating pace due to the resumption of kosher slaughter, along with weather-related complications caused by excessive rainfall, provided strong support for cattle prices for immediate delivery.
Paraguayan beef exports declined 25% year-on-year in the first four months of the year, in line with the 24% annual drop in slaughter.
The sharp reduction in cattle demand from export processors caused slaughter activity to collapse in April.
According to Senacsa data, export plants slaughtered 105,315 cattle, nearly 55,000 head fewer than in March and 66,000 below April 2025.
Export cattle values generally remained within the ranges seen the previous week. British-breed cross steers, with better beef quality, continued trading between Ar$ 7,900 and 8,200 per kg carcass weight, while zebu-cross steers remained between Ar$ 7,800 and 8,000.
As of April 30, Argentina had executed 30,790 tons of the 2026 US beef tariff quota, which totals 100,000 tons, for a value of US$ 259.5 million.
The tour organized by the Argentine government together with the IPCVA in the United States took place at the ideal moment and left participating companies satisfied, according to firms consulted by World Beef Report (WBR).
Unlike previous years, with two months remaining before the end of the 2025/26 quota cycle, Argentina had already executed 27,774 tons of the Hilton quota to the European Union, equivalent to 94.5% of the total allocation.
Although there are expectations that the upward trend in prices may begin to slow, limited supply means that buying interest — while not particularly aggressive — remains sufficient to keep the market under pressure.
The main cuts traditionally consumed during the May 1 holiday enjoyed extraordinary demand and virtually no inventories remained, leading butcher shops and supermarkets to request additional product as early as Saturday, May 2, to supply consumers over the weekend.
