Chicken has overtaken beef in Argentina's latest comparable meat-consumption figures, according to the Buenos Aires Herald. During the reported period, chicken reached 47 kilograms per person, slightly above beef at 46.7 kilograms. Pork also increased to 20.1 kilograms per person. The shift is striking in a country where beef has long held an important place in the diet.
Researchers cited in the report connect the change to prices as well as a longer-term shift. Beef has become relatively expensive, and households can buy substantially more chicken or pork for the same amount of money. At the same time, lower domestic beef production and strong exports have reduced the amount available at home. Higher imports offset only part of that decline.
These statistics do not directly count what each household buys. They estimate meat available for the domestic market by combining national production and imports, then subtracting exports. That distinction matters when interpreting the headline. The reported pattern reflects both changing economic conditions and a longer movement away from beef toward other meats; it should not be read as a direct survey of every family's meals.
