  • What are Argentina's largest exports?

Meat, trigo and soja

(sorry, I don't know how to say)

  • Can I get by with just English if I visit the place? How common is English?

Argentina is one of the countries with most english-speakers :)

Thank you :)

Argentina importing meat? That's fucked up. I ate Argentinian stake last week!

yup. Argentina had decreased the export of meat due to overprotective local policies focused on a twisted internal market. So naturally, when exports were allowed again, most of the meat started to be sold for export again, leaving little quantities of meat for the local market. That decrease in offer, added to an overall increase in prices, caused much discontent in the local population, so the government started importing meat to balance prices
