Pork production in Argentina could gain momentum if a government-backed plan will be implemented, origo wrote. According to this, in the future, the South American country would export huge quantities of pork to China. However, Argentines and environmentalists are worried about the dark sides of the deal.

China and Argentina could have a huge meat industry agreement that would make the South American state China’s largest supplier of pork.

The government-backed plan would involve an investment of 3.5 billion USD in Argentina that would generate a 2.5 billion USD in annual pork exports, and create 9,500 new jobs. (origo)
