Livestock and agricultural markets show regional shifts in South America

The livestock sector in Uruguay is experiencing a period of firmness, with beef prices reaching approximately US$ 6 per kilo for steers. Experts from Agro Oriental suggest that high international demand and limited supply could sustain these price levels through 2027.

In Argentina, the livestock industry is driving a recovery in rural land values in Santa Fe, particularly in areas suitable for breeding and rearing. Meanwhile, the upcoming 5th Federal Livestock Congress in Rosario will focus on improving competitiveness through genetics, nutrition, and better management to meet international demand for heavier animals.

Agricultural commodity markets in Rosario report mixed results, with soybean prices remaining stable while corn and wheat prices declined. Additionally, the Chamber of Legumes of the Argentine Republic (CLERA) is organizing a technical session in Rosario to address climate challenges and innovation in the legume sector.
