Argentine and China sign protocol for the export of bovine gallstone

Argentine and China signed a health protocol for the opening of the bovine gallstone market. This meeting was led by Argentine Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Vice Minister Wang Lingjun of the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC). The meeting also included discussions on other agricultural products.

Gallstones, which usually come from elderly animals, are low-volume, high-value products, which is why they are often sold in rather informal markets and even stolen from meatpacking plants. Industry insiders say they are often shipped by air to Asian countries to be used as ingredients in medicines or aphrodisiacs.

The meeting also allowed for the definition of priorities for 2025 regarding health openings, including "the prompt signing of protocols for pork offal", among others, "as well as the goal of concluding negotiations for the export of bovine offal", an official statement said.
