Meat consumption in Argentina has fallen to its lowest level in the past 20 years

It’s kind of sad to see what’s happening with meat consumption in Argentina lately. More and more people are turning to alternatives, not really by choice but because they have to. Even for a typical family with two kids, buying meat regularly has become difficult. The classic Sunday asado? For many, it’s now turned into a once-a-month thing.

And this is Argentina… one of the world’s biggest beef producers. It just feels wrong.

El consumo de carne de los argentinos cayó a su nivel más bajo en los últimos 20 años

Mientras la producción se achica y los precios suben por encima de la inflación, en el país se consumen 47,3 kilos por persona, casi 15 menos que dos décadas atrás

It will probably even get worse next year as more and more beef will be exported driving up prices.
