Highest monthly beef exports to the EU in 16 years

Partly due to the bulk of 481 shipments that will be entering the European Union (EU) starting July 1 and partly due to strong product demand in the old continent, Uruguayan beef exports in May were the highest since May 2009 —16 years ago— according to export application data reported by Customs. They totaled 6,640 shipment weight tons, of which 4,296 tons were chilled beef and 2,344 tons were frozen.
