Argentina will begin exporting beef and lamb on the bone to Israel

The note, signed by Shlomo Garazi, veterinary director of Ivsa's import and export department, stated that "Israel views Argentina as a country entitled to export meat on bones from the entire national territory." Israel has agreed to expand the scope of the current International Veterinary Certificate (IVC) to cover the carriage of boneless meat of the same type and offal with the addition of kosher beef on the bone.

Argentina is recognized as "foot and mouth disease free" by the World Organization for Animal Health (WHO), with two free zones with vaccination and three without vaccination . This health status, which has been maintained since 2006, is confirmed annually and generates consumer confidence in the global market.

Additionally, since 2004, Argentina has been recognized by the WHO as having the highest health status regarding bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, commonly known as mad cow disease), and in 2007 it received official international recognition as a country with a negligible risk for this disease , which is approved annually through the information that Senasa sends every year.

It is worth noting that in 2023, Senasa certified the export of 36.8 thousand tons of boneless beef to Israel. The country is the third largest buyer of animal products.
