Amadeo Derito Takes Helm of Argentina’s Angus Association in Leadership Reset

He sets a value‑chain agenda built on certification, traceability, genetics and sustainability.

Overview

  • Derito assumed the 2025–2027 presidency after the sole slate, “Federalismo, Unidad y Renovación,” was proclaimed within the statutory timeline.
  • He succeeds Alfonso Bustillo, who concluded the two consecutive terms permitted by the association’s statute.
  • The new board reflects broad renewal, with 13 of 21 directors newly appointed and greater federal representation from diverse producing regions.
  • For the first time, no former presidents sit on the executive leadership, as ex-presidents shift to a special consultative commission to preserve continuity.
  • Fabián Otero was named vice president, and Derito emphasized lifting returns across the chain and strengthening the “Carne Angus Certificada” program.
