Following an exceptionally strong start, Argentina ended August having shipped 7,366 tons under its 2026/27 Hilton Quota, equivalent to 25% of the total 29,389 tons allocated annually by the EU. These shipments generated nearly US$ 121 million in revenue.
South Korean beef imports are forecast to increase 3% in 2027 to 620,000 tons carcass weight equivalent, due to lower domestic production and an expected recovery in consumption, according to the USDA office in Seoul.
The European Union confirmed that imports of Brazilian beef will be suspended as of this Thursday, September 3, after deeming the guarantees provided by the country insufficient to comply with the bloc’s new requirements on the use of antimicrobials in animal production. The measure also covers poultry meat, eggs and honey.
China’s General Administration of Customs (GACC) rejected 223,392 kg of imported beef in July, steeply above the just 34 tons of June, but down 22% from the volume reported in May.
The reinstatement of the Tacuarembó and San Jacinto meatpacking plants for exports to China could be linked to the general audit that Chinese authorities are planning to conduct of Uruguay’s meat industry in late October or November.
Vietnam’s market should open to Uruguayan beef within less than a year, estimated National Meat Institute (INAC) President Gastón Scayola following the recent official mission to that country and Indonesia.
The average value of slaughter cattle in the region corrected downward this week. The WBR Mercosur Steer Index fell US$ 0.03 to US$ 4.84/kg carcass weight. Uruguay was the only country to maintain an upward trend, although it was more moderate than in previous weeks.
Following the release of further details on the 300,000-ton quota announced by Donald Trump for the September-November quarter, at a rate of 100,000 tons per month, the main question for operators has become how the market price against which the 25% reduction should be applied will be determined.
An operator again said it was virtually impossible for the announced 300,000 tons to enter during the 90-day period. This is not only because of the lack of available beef, but also because of the logistical constraints involved in suddenly adding thousands of containers to commercial flows, together with the capacity limitations of ports, warehouses, and facilities where goods await USDA inspection.
