In September 2026, seventeen Argentine meatpacking plants participated in ‘Argentine Meat Week’ in Miami, United States. This initiative, coordinated by PromArgentina, the Argentine government, and the Argentine Beef Promotion Institute (IPCVA), sought to increase the presence of Argentine beef in the U.S. market. Diego Sucalesca, executive president of PromArgentina, noted that a previous edition of the event led to a 369% year-on-year increase in exports, totaling 11,000 tons. By October 2026, retail developments were noted in Mexico and Argentina. In Querétaro, Mexico, Los de Cecina Juriquilla expanded its offerings of traditional Toluca-style cecina and chorizo. In Posadas, Argentina, the Cooperativa Virgen de Fátima launched CoopeMeat, a boutique-style meat shop featuring a self-service format with both national and imported products, such as Spanish sausages. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-02: Meat retail ventures expand in Mexico and Argentina New meat-focused retail ventures are opening in Mexico and Argentina, including a cecina specialty shop in Querétaro and a boutique meat market in Posadas. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/meat-retail-ventures-expand-in-mexico-and-argentina ### 2026-09-11: Argentine meatpackers promote beef exports in Miami Seventeen Argentine meatpacking plants are promoting beef exports in Miami during the second Argentine Meat Week to expand their presence in the United States market. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/argentine-meatpackers-promote-beef-exports-in-miami --- Cite as: Argentine and regional meat industry developments.
