The Argentine Beef Promotion Institute (IPCVA) is a public non-governmental institution founded on 11th December 2001, following the passage of the National Statute Nº25.507 by agreement of all the beef chain representatives.
Promotion Fund
The IPCVA is funded through the collection of levies paid by both producers and packers of all the country. It is stated by statute that producers shall pay a contribution equivalent to 20 hundredth per cent of the bovine head of cattle to be slaughtered ($1,25 Argentine pesos), while packers shall pay 9 hundredth per cent of said value ($0,55 Argentine pesos), making a total of $ 1.80 per slaughtered animal.
The IPCVA role in the beef chain
The IPCVA daily improves and consolidates the Argentine beef products image, taking into account the vast history and tradition of the country and the prestige Argentina has in worldwide markets. Furthermore, its sectorial management - production, industry and government - the transparency in the destination of the funds and the excellence of its human resources, constitute the core values the organization pursues facing the challenges of its mission.
