Argentina: Poultry and Products Annual

Post projects Calendar Year (CY) 2024 Argentine chicken meat production at 2.4 million metric tons (MT), up slightly from CY2023 levels. CY2024 exports are projected at 140,000 MT as Argentina recovers from its first Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) outbreak. In August 2023, The World Organization for Animal Health validated a report written by the Argentine National Food Safety and Quality Service (SENASA), which self-declared Argentina to be free of HPAI. Argentina has been working to regain market access across the world following a six-month self-suspension of poultry exports. Post's production and export estimates are based on demand from markets which have officially reopened, including Uruguay, Singapore, and the European Union.
