# Neuquén Forage Expo gets underway with self-sufficiency as the clear goal

> The third Neuquén Forage Expo opened on 13 November in Picún Leufú, Argentina, bringing together livestock producers, technicians and companies. Neuquén has about 17,000 hectares of pasture but still imports hay from neighbouring provinces, and self-sufficiency is the central theme.

## Why it matters

This is a local event with no new supply shock, so it has little direct price effect. It signals ongoing hay import dependence in Patagonian Argentina, which keeps regional hay demand steady.
