By: The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service post in Argentina forecasts chicken meat imports to remain at 5,000 metric tons, according to a recent US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Global Agricultural Information Network (GAIN) report.
This small figure represents small volumes of chicken cuts imported from Brazil and Uruguay. These chicken meat imports cover a wide range of products, including fresh, chilled, or frozen whole birds and cuts. As members of Mercosur, chicken meat products from Uruguay and Brazil are not subject to import tariffs from other members and enter Argentina tariff-free, while other exporters face external Mercosur tariffs of 10–16%.
Post forecasts 2024 imports are estimated at 5,000 metric tons, similar to 2023.
