Uruguay recorded a record high of beef exports amounting to $1.3 billion for the first ten months of the year, a 55% increase in value compared to the same period last year.

The number one market is still Russia, which seems to have an insatiable appetite for expensive steaks, the European Union, and the United States. Uruguay took advantage of the fact that Argentina, a major competitor in the industry, went out of the market for five months this year.
