Patagonic
Beef, a division and fully owned subsidiary of Patagonic Food Imports,
is an enterprise dedicated to the importation of high quality natural
Hereford beef for the consumption by Hotel and Restaurants in the
New York metropolitan area.
Our product is of the highest quality, lean premium natural beef imported
from the green pastures of South America.
It is it’s unique flavor what distinguishes Uruguayan natural
beef from other “feed-lot” raised cattle. Our product
is obtained from cattle that is fed and raised in a natural “free”
environment where the animals are allowed to move freely and feed
on natural pastures.
Uruguay, one of the newest players
on the world beef scene, is positioning itself as a major competitor
to U.S. beef in the first decade of the 21st century.
Uruguay was quick to remove itself from the list of countries banned
from beef exports because of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Like Argentina,
Uruguay-an producers have made major strides in ridding its borders
of this FMD disease and the USDA recognized the country as FMD-free
in 1995.
Uruguay has also won concessions through the Uruguay Round of GATT
talks that ended in December 1993. The country gained access to the
U.S. market with a quota of 20,000 tons of beef. Most of the beef
has been for manufacturing, but Uruguayan cattlemen hope to begin
developing U.S. high quality markets for its beef products.
Uruguay can produce very good quality beef at a very low cost and
enter new markets like the US high quality or Premium markets.
