The Ministry of Agriculture exempted kosher cuts of pork shoulder destined for Israel from restrictions on beef exports, with the aim of "strengthening" trade ties with that country. This is established by the Resolution 28 / 2022, published this Tuesday (15.02.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX) in the Official Gazette.
On December 30, the Government had decided to suspend or limit until December 31, 2023 the sale abroad of a series of cuts of beef, with the purpose of "generating a balance between the Argentine market and the export of meat products," as indicated in decree 911/2021.
The exception for "bovine cuts called shoulder from a Kosher slaughterhouse" had already been announced by Minister Julián Domínguez to the Israeli ambassador to Argentina, Galit Ronen.
"It is strategic to strengthen our commercial ties with the State of Israel by keeping the market for Kosher slaughter active," stated the recitals of resolution 28/2022.
It was also stated that the measure "tends to the purpose set forth in the aforementioned decree 911/21 of increasing production, generating predictability for the producer, and also increasing exportable volumes.
Israel is the third destination for Argentine beef exports in terms of volume, behind China and Chile, with a share of 5,4% of the total, but with a value per tonne much higher than the cuts sold to the Asian giant.
According to the Argentine Institute for the Promotion of Beef (IPCVA), last year the price per ton of beef exported to Israel was US$6.818, higher than the US$3.963 of China but lower than those of the countries of the European Union, which average US$10.300.
