Paraná River emergency: INTA estimates $9M extra to evacuate cattle, $38M monthly to keep them off islands

An INTA study quantifies the financial burden on Argentine livestock producers forced to evacuate cattle from Paraná River islands due to an emergency (likely flooding). Transporting 500 animals costs $9M more than normal, with an additional $38M monthly to maintain them off-island. The situation signals a localized economic and logistical strain on the agricultural sector, with the underlying cause (flooding or drought) not specified in the item.
