China is about to embark on a multi-billion dollar project to almost double Argentina’s pork production over the next four years.
That was shared recently by Argentina’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship. The Latin American country is about to receive almost US$ 3.8 billion of investments.
The agreement, which is set to be closed shortly, aims to add 300,000 sows to Argentina’s herd, which will mean an almost doubling of the commercial meat production.
