Argentine seafood industry trade and tariff efforts

Overview

The Argentine Patagonian fishing industry is seeking to improve its global competitiveness and market access. Following an international tour in Europe by President Javier Milei and Chubut Governor Ignacio Torres, the Argentine Patagonian Fishing Industry Chamber (CAPIP) has called for a review of the current tax burden to better support the seafood sector, which serves as a major generator of foreign currency.

Simultaneously, at the Conxemar frozen seafood trade fair in Vigo, Spain, efforts are underway to expand the European Union’s tariff-rate quota for Argentine shrimp. Organizers noted that current quotas are typically exhausted within the first quarter of the year. Negotiations are ongoing with the European Commissioner for Fisheries to potentially double the quota, a move intended to provide greater predictability for international trade and supply chains.
