Operation: As part of our fiscal year end closing procedures, we are currently performing the physical account of our herd.

The process is more complex and lengthened because of the sanitary restrictions. Under normal conditions, the process is already heavy in terms on logistic (above 5,300 heads at the farm to pool and count) but with the worsening sanitary conditions in the northern province of Argentina and protocols to be applied, its becoming epic.

The cherry on the cake, we have also to face frosts as you can see (the climate of the region is classified as subtropical climate).

Even is this challenging environment, the quality reached of our breed (good hold, colour and uniformity of the calves) makes us proud and motivates the entire team of Curupi Pora.

We have also terminated to refresh our corral facilities. The upgraded chute will allow us to have a better service for delivery or sanitary duties.

Market news: Argentina has now returned to the global beef export trade after its earlier self-imposed 30-day suspension – but only under significant limitations, some of which are likely to last until the end of the year. Argentinean beef exporters are now permitted to export 50 % of volume recorded in 2020, measured on a monthly basis, but a complete suspension will remain on certain items. This means that around 250,000 tonnes of beef would be removed from the global beef market. The biggest loser out of this will be China as Chinese were getting around 40,000 tonnes a month in shipments, this year that will be reduced to about 20,000 tonnes.
