Bolivia eyes Argentina-style meat export growth after 2019 China deal

Bolivia, which only began beef exports in 2019 after a decade-long ban, now ships 42,000 tons annually and aims to double that, citing Argentina's productivity gains. The country's livestock output is around 11 million tons, suggesting significant untapped export potential. This signals a shift in Bolivian trade policy toward agricultural export expansion, though infrastructure and market access constraints remain.
