Productivity, efficiency and profitability: the challenges of modern livestock
The challenges of modern livestock production in Argentina were discussed at Expoagro 2026, focusing on productivity, efficiency, and profitability.
At Expoagro 2026, the Argentine Braford Association (ABA) facilitated a discussion addressing modern livestock production challenges. Industry leaders from various firms highlighted the importance of achieving productivity, efficiency, and profitability in the sector, especially given the current limitations in production capacity. The discussions were critical as they shed light on internal challenges within livestock farming and the significant role of the export industry in achieving these goals.
The event featured key figures from the livestock sector, including Pablo Fernández from Santa Clara and Yuquerí, César Cuello from Cosufi SA, Carolina Mendoza from Arrebeef SA, and Sebastián Castillo from Abuelo Julio SA. They shared insights and discussed their strategies to meet the modern demands of the cattle industry. The presence of producers, industry leaders, and students illustrated the comprehensive interest in improving the efficiency of livestock operations in Argentina's agricultural context.
Moderated by journalist Silvio Baioco, the dialogue emphasized the ongoing need to innovate within the cattle farming industry. Despite the promising opportunities for Braford cattle, the speakers underscored that the industry's potential is still far from fully realized. The collaboration between producers and export firms stands out as essential to enhancing both local practices and international competitiveness.
