Sales to the US remain brisk: nearly 30% of the new third-quarter quota already filled

Argentina shipped 53,196 tonnes of beef to the United States during the first half of the year, worth US$445 million, according to official government data. This represents 53% of the country's total annual allocation of 100,000 tonnes, which includes the traditional 20,000-ton quota plus an additional 80,000 tonnes granted for 2026 and distributed in four non-transferable quarterly allocations on a first-come, first-served basis.
