In 2021, the U.S. was the leading producer of beef, yet Argentina topped per capita consumption with nearly 46 kg per person in 2022, compared to the U.S. at around 84 pounds. Argentina's beef culture, shaped by its terrain and traditions like the asado, is deeply rooted in its identity. However, economic struggles have caused a decrease in consumption rates. Despite these challenges, Argentina's relationship with beef remains strong, with iconic dishes reflecting its culinary heritage.
In 2022, Argentina consumed 45.95 kilograms per capita, ranking first in the world, while the United States followed with just under 84 pounds per capita.
Argentina struggles with inflation and low wages affecting beef consumption despite its rich cattle culture, with traditional asados celebrating communal grilling of beef.
