Argentina Finalizes 2026 U.S. Beef Quota Allocation Under Resolution 8/2026

The move codifies 2026 rules under the GATT quota, with certificates contingent on full sanitary and customs compliance.

Overview

  • Authorities allocated 19,956.345 tonnes for the 2026 cycle, dividing 19,000 tonnes to Industria and 1,000 tonnes to Proyectos Conjuntos after receiving 72 applications.
  • Four firms were disqualified or ineligible, including Grupo Tresnal for lacking U.S. sanitary authorization, Frigorífico Villa Olga for no export history, and two companies sanctioned for renouncing their 2025 quotas.
  • Frigorífico Gorina received an exceptional permit to fulfill its quota through third‑party plants following a fire at its facility.
  • Black Bamboo Enterprises, Frigorífico Alberdi, Mattievich and Carnes Pampeanas were granted economic group status to execute allocations across their establishments.
  • The Proyectos Conjuntos free‑availability fund was set at 43.655 tonnes with no initial balance for Industria, and the adjudication is provisional while a separate 80,000‑ton access preagreement with the U.S. remains unsigned.
