·While the Ombudsman of Córdoba reports a catastrophic drop in meat sales to the public throughout the province, a local butcher, called Joseph Roggeror told La Voz de San Justo ” “Three months ago they sold very cheap cuts and there was plenty of roast. Today, there is a slight rebound. The economic cuts and the premium ones are having an even rotation and the consumer has a different attitude towards what they consume, which does not mean that they continue to look for offers.” A request for opinion from FMR90.7 to its listeners showed that the majority buy less beef month after month and replace it with chicken.
Beef consumption fell by 71.2%:
Based on a recent survey on consumption habits in the province of Córdoba, the Ombudsman reported a significant decrease in food consumption, mainly affecting lower-income families.
The drop in consumption is not limited to meat alone, but there has also been a reduction in the consumption of milk, eggs and vegetables.
The head of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of Meat and Derivatives of the Argentine Republic (CICCRA), Miguel Schiariti, reiterated that local consumption of beef is at the level lowest in the last 30 years, but highlighted that Argentines reduced all their food purchases due to the loss of purchasing power. He also mentioned that, unlike other crises, there was an increase in substitute products such as chicken and pork.
