Argentina Makes First-Ever Air Shipment of Pacú Fish to the U.S. from Rosario
For the First Time, Argentina Exports Pacú Fish by Air from Rosario to Los Angeles. The shipment, sourced from Chaco, was certified by Senasa for entry into the U.S. market as part of a trial in California restaurants.
In a historic milestone for Argentina’s foreign trade, the first-ever air export of pacú fish was completed from Rosario to the United States, destined for a culinary experience in Los Angeles restaurants.
The cargo originated from a fish farm in Puerto Las Palmas, Chaco, and was certified by Senasa, Argentina’s National Food Safety and Quality Service.
Senasa stated that its personnel ensured compliance with U.S. sanitary requirements at both the origin and destination. Technicians from Senasa’s Chaco-Formosa Regional Center inspected the production facility, while agents at Rosario’s “Islas Malvinas” International Airport verified the cargo’s condition before issuing the necessary health documentation.
The air shipment, as opposed to the traditional maritime method, significantly reduced both logistical costs and transit time for the producer, according to Senasa.
The consignment consisted of two packages weighing a total of 144 kilograms, transported aboard a Copa Airlines flight. The airline operates 10 weekly flights between Rosario and Panama, where it maintains a hub connecting to over 80 destinations across the Americas.
Senasa also reported that, so far in 2025, it has certified the export of 13,000 tons of fishery products to the United States, under the framework of bilateral trade in animal-origin food products.
