Argentine domestic beef consumption falls to historic low 2 minutes read By Veronica Dalto Buenos Aires, Jan 15 (efe-epa).- Argentina is world-renowned for cattle that feed on the rich grass of the Pampas and its people’s “asados,” barbecue feasts and ritualistic social gatherings in which beef often takes center stage. But annual consumption of that type of meat fell to a historic low of 49.7 kilograms per person in that South American country in 2020, due partly to a drop in purchasing power amid high inflation and the coronavirus crisis but also to people’s greater openness to eating chicken and pork.
