Per Capita Beef Consumption Drops to 56 Kilos

Argentines ate less beef during the first four months of the year than they did during the same period in 2009, the beef industry chamber, Ciccra, reported last week.

A smaller supply of beef combined with higher prices to push consumption down.

But at 56.3 kilograms a person (124 pounds) on average per year, Argentines still chewed up a massive amount of beef.

Last year locals ate 70.3 kilos (155 pounds) per person on average. That’s almost a half a pound of beef per day, every single day.
