First internal market then exportations; uruguayans eat a lot of beef like argentines; 70 kgs. per year per capita.

beef is the best hiperproteical diet that exists ; it means brain & muscles; and when you mix that with an heteragoamic population you have an explosive and unique sample of mankind.

No wonder beef is becoming an expensive commodity. Beef at the market has tripled the price than across the river in Argentina. The populist Uruguayan government is deep in debt. It explains the tanning manufacturing and meat processing plants closing, firing, and the increased lay off. Russia buys cattle on the hoof at “softer prices” added to the already cheap dollar that the populist government manipulates. Uruguayans are paying 3-4 times (according to different cuts) more for beef than before 2005.

Still, it must be better for Uruguay than if beef were being supplied by Argentina!
