Description

Argentina created its first national registry for livestock markets on 1 February 1908. Officials designed the system to organize trading practices across the country. The registry tracked cattle, sheep, and horse transactions. It helped stabilize pricing and reduce fraudulent activity. Ranchers used the information to improve their business decisions. The system later supported export growth by improving confidence among international buyers. Its establishment marked a milestone in Argentina’s livestock industry.
