he A total of USD 20,322 million will be injected into the cattle and livestock sector, one of the historic pillars of the Argentine economy. In the economy of 2025, between spending and investingto keep its vast production machinery active. Data comes from a Rosario Stock Exchange survey. (BCR) Based on the latest information on work carried out in 2010/2011 by the Regional Agricultural Experiments Consortium (CREA) and contact table. he emphasized that Spending amount is consistent with strategic importance of the department that produces Over 3 million tons amount of meat per year.
This report shows that Argentina Main consumers of meat per capita and, Externally, it is the world’s fifth largest exporter.. He made it clear that it would be in 2024. The beef and leather complex was Argentina’s sixth export complex.
new analysis Breaking down the US$20.322 billion, livestock producers are estimated to spend US$9.954 billion in 2025. instead of property, Direct and indirect costs of USD 8,592, consumer durables of USD 1,021, and marketing expenses of USD 755 million.. He said maintaining this extensive production capacity requires a continued and significant commitment of resources.
in this case, A report prepared by economists of the Rosario Stock Exchange, Franco Ramseyer, Emilce Terré and Julio Calzada recall their previous work with CREA and the contact table, and the data was updated for updates. Agricultural Margin MagazineThis is a report from. Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (SAGyP) and your own estimate. All this produced it Estimates of resource mobilization for this sector in 2025.
As a result, this year The total expenditure combined with expenditures and investments in the cattle husbandry sector amounts to US$ 20,322 million. “While the results are preliminary and subject to improvement, they provide an estimate of the magnitude of resource mobilization in this area,” they said.
Rosario Stock Exchange said: stock According to the rancher, Official sources start this year at 51.6 million head, defining the physical starting point for quantifying spending. “The size and structure of the rodeo is driver That will determine the cost and scale of investment required for the chain,” they said.
The first part of total expenditure corresponds to direct costs, which include operational costs inherently related to the livestock production process. These were updated based on herd data from SAGyP and direct costs per hectare of different production models collected from the journal Mágenes Agropecuarios.
By 2025, These direct costs of cattle activities are estimated to total. 4,117 million USD. “The analysis of its composition is assumed to be constant in percentage with respect to the work of CREA. Groceries stand out as the main cost component, accounting for 73% of the total. This item includes $1.926 billion for supplies and $1.06 billion for pasture and green space. The remaining direct expenditures are comprised of personnel costs (US$688 million) and health costs (US$443 million). ”they pointed out.
second The quantified items correspond to the marketing costs listed in the BCR and summarize the costs necessary to sell real estate. These expenditures are projected to total US$755 million in 2025. “This amount is broken down into two main components: sales commissions, which account for 62.4% of the total (US$471 million), and transportation costs, which account for the remaining 37.6% (US$284 million). The estimated fees take into account the various operating modes of the sector, including concentrated markets, fair auctions, ‘gancheras’ and direct sales. For their part, transportation costs cover the movement of animals between facilities and to the slaughterhouse. Plants, they emphasized.
In third place is indirect costs, which are expected to be: 4.475 billion USD By 2025. “The main The components of this category are Structure and Management, with an estimated expenditure of US$2.827 billion. These costs arise from the company’s need to produce and maintain its facilities in technically and economically manageable conditions. These include a wide range of items such as structural personnel, site managers, office personnel, mobility, technical, accounting and tax advice, power energy, infrastructure maintenance, communications and office expenses. ”
they said this The largest component of indirect costs is ‘lease payments and pasture land’, with an estimated value of US$1.397 billion.. “This amount reflects the cost of land use, taking into account that most contracts are established on a triennial basis (in kilograms of steers or pesos per hectare), in addition to short-term “grazing” schemes, according to CREA’s work. “The results of CREA’s work have been adjusted based on steer price developments to update costs for this item,” they said.
Loan items complete this category and are predicted as follows: 251 million USD. This study also quantified Investment elements in durable goods. Therefore, he emphasized that Projected to reach USD 1.021 billion by 2025under the assumption that it remains relatively constant in dollar terms with respect to the CREA report. “This figure represents the estimated expenditure on the replacement and acquisition of fixed assets, including, among others, expenditure on machinery, infrastructure improvements and the purchase of pickup trucks,” they stressed.
The final and most important component of total spending is the replenishment of the national treasury. This category is projected to reach USD 9.954 billion by 2025. It is important to understand the flow of costs between different production stages. “This amount includes two important components: operating costs to replace calves purchased by winterers and feedlot operators, and includes belly replacement costs estimated at 20% per year.” stock Total number of cows. This percentage can vary more or less depending on year-end activity.more or less stock However, considering the developments in this sector so far this year, 20% is chosen as a reasonable option,” they summarized.
