Last year, Argentina received two inspection visits from Philippine authorities, who verified Argentina's sanitary control system for the production of beef, pork and poultry.

In 2023, the Philippines imported meat and by-products for a value of over 1.75 billion USD from all over the world. In addition, between January and October 2024, meat imports into the Philippines increased by 17% year-on-year.

Argentina, the world’s leading exporter of high-quality beef, is making efforts to expand its exports of poultry and pork. Currently, China is the biggest importer of Argentina's meat products./.
