Argentine meat producers announced on Tuesday they would stop selling beef and veal for one week in response to a month-long government suspension on exports due to rising prices. The Liaison Commission for Agricultural Entities, which represents agricultural producers and businesses, announced a "cessation of all categories of cattle trade" from midnight on Thursday to May 28. On Monday night, the government announced a month-long suspension on foreign meat sales to "get the sector in order, restrict speculative practices and avoid tax evasion in foreign trade." nn/mr/bc/bgs
