Reuters reports that a resolution published on 20 April in the government's gazette said the registration system for foreign sales was necessary to help avoid "possible imbalances in the domestic meat market in terms of supply, price and quality".
Farmers and ranchers fear an increase in regulations aimed at limiting international shipments, after previous Peronist governments tried unsuccessfully to tame domestic food price inflation by clamping down on food exports.
The registration of beef exports and limits on shipments were imposed during the 2008-2015 administrations of former President Cristina Fernandez, but were scrapped by her successor Mauricio Macri.
