Argentine: Mandatory electronic identification of livestock postponed until 2026

"The measure responds to demands from the productive sector, which asked for more time to adapt to the changes and make the necessary investments",  said official sources.

According to official sources, the extension will allow producers to better adapt to the regulations and make the necessary investments for their implementation. In addition, it is expected that during this time adjustments to the system will be analyzed to facilitate its application.

"Electronic identification aims to improve the traceability of livestock, optimizing health and commercial controls",  explained the government. However, rural entities had expressed their concern about the cost and operation of the new system.

With this decision, the authorities are seeking to provide greater predictability to the sector and avoid complications in the marketing of livestock. "It is expected that in the coming months new terms and conditions will be defined for the definitive implementation of the system",  added official sources.
