Argentina is at just one step to export beef offal to China. In early June, under the supervision of Senasa, China’s GACC conducted a final audit of Argentine slaughterhouses and laboratories. “This marked a key step toward signing a sanitary agreement, paving the way for Argentina to begin exporting beef offal to China”, said OIG+X in its Monthly Report.

Chile maintains a steady and fluid pace of beef imports. In recent months, according to Odepa data, volumes have hovered around 21,000 tons per month. This volume is being purchased by the main importer in the region at increasing average prices.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday 9 a new round of tariff demand letters, including a 50% rate on Brazil, one of the highest announced so far, set to take effect in August, Bloomberg reported.
