MONTEVIDEO - Uruguayan beef is increasingly being sold via e-commerce transactions in China, where it seeks to position itself as a premium product.
Influencers' and chefs' live streaming tastings that can be watched on smartphones are part of the promotional tools of Uruguay's National Meat Institute (INAC).
"More than 25 percent of beef purchases in China are made via e-commerce, and in two years that is expected to reach 50 percent," Lautaro Perez Rocha, INAC's marketing manager, told Xinhua recently.
