Japan's beef tongue demand boosts Argentina, Uruguay exports; tariff differential key

Argentina and Uruguay are capitalizing on Japan's high demand for beef tongue, which carries a 12% import tariff versus 38% for other cuts. Argentina exports at ~$4,206/ton while Uruguay achieves ~$11,000/ton in the same market, highlighting a significant price premium. The tariff structure and niche demand create a trade opportunity, though the price gap suggests quality or market positioning differences.
