Argentina. Refrigerators, these places responsible for storing and distributing meat to their destinations, whether supermarkets, butchers or even to send it to other countries, are also some of the main consumers of refrigeration equipment essential for their work, however it seems that next year will bring with it a decrease in the income of the Argentine refrigerators due to the sanctions that could result from non-compliance with the Hilton quota. Argentina, the fourth largest exporter of meat in the world, must export to the European Union 28,000 tons of cold cuts of beef, boneless and of high commercial quality. This amount, established by the Hilton quota, must be covered before the end of the annual cycle that would culminate on June 30.
The Hilton quota is the result of an export agreement with the European Union, which determines a fixed number of tons and parameters of special cuts of meat to be exported to the European market. The meat that is sent within the Hilton quota circulates through the old continent free of tariffs.
Argentine companies still owe around 3,500 tons of meat, this non-compliance with European countries may mean a decrease in exports to this country next year, as importers will have to look for alternative suppliers to cover the meat deficit.
The strikes generated by the change in the tax on the export of grains and their derivatives paralyzed the internal trade of grains and hacienda, and hindered the export of agricultural and agro-industrial products; the first approvals for the sale of meat abroad began to be granted on May 20 and although an attempt was made to ship in a few weeks the meat that was not exported in two months it was not possible to meet the quota.
