Argentina on Tuesday re-established a meat export registration system, stoking fears among cattle producers of possible export limits as the government tries to hold down domestic food prices in the face of double-digit inflation.

Farmers and ranchers fear an increase in regulations aimed at limiting international shipments, after previous Peronist governments tried unsuccessfully to tame domestic food price inflation by clamping down on food exports.
