ALONSO, Carlos  and  SZPAK, Carolina. International market of beef: recent evolution of commercial flows and the situation of Argentina. SaberEs [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.1, pp.21-43. ISSN 1852-4418.

This article details the world trade of beef in the period 2006-2015. The analysis of trade flows allows to identify the existence of important players at the country level, certain market concentration both from supply and demand in all the tariff positions involved and the presence of a regional pattern of trade. Notwithstanding the foregoing, some countries differ from this behavior, as is the case of Southern Cone exporters that access markets such as Russia, China, Hong Kong and Angola, or the United States and Australia. When comparing the situation among the Mercosur countries, it is obtained on the one hand, an unequal behavior of Argentina with respect to its commercial partners and on the other hand, the relevance acquired by certain destinations for Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay.

Keywords : International trade; Mercosur; Food.
