Mercado Agroganadero, commonly abbreviated to MAG, is a physical cattle market in Cañuelas, Buenos Aires Province. It succeeds Mercado de Liniers, an important relationship for historical data continuity and duplicate checking. When older directory sections are consolidated, the two names should be linked rather than automatically counted as independent contemporary marketplaces. Sales at MAG are organised through intermediaries known as consignatarios, bringing livestock suppliers together with professional cattle buyers.
The official website reported 3,791 cattle arrivals and 111 delivery trucks for 30 October 2026. These measures describe incoming supply on one day, rather than annual turnover or a confirmed number of animals sold. The operator also publishes the INMAG and IGMAG indices and information for categories including novillos, novillitos, vaquillonas, vacas, toros and MEJ. Local category names are retained because a simplified translation could obscure distinctions in age, sex and commercial classification. The arrival figures should remain attached to their date when exported into another dataset.
MAG's significance extends beyond its role as a delivery location: its published results provide reference information for Argentina's cattle trade. However, a general ARS/kg index is not a promised price for a particular group of animals. Buyers should compare corresponding categories, dates, weights and qualities. Turning an index into a procurement budget also requires the commissions and handling costs agreed with the counterparty.
A seller should begin by choosing a consignatario and agreeing lot acceptance, animal identification, weighing and settlement arrangements. The market describes the presence of SENASA services and an organised reception and selling process. This does not replace confirmation of the documentation applicable to a particular consignment. Buyers are advised to establish inspection arrangements, group identifiers, the pricing basis and collection deadlines. Separate the value of the cattle from transport and other agreed charges when comparing the total cost of purchasing through different channels.
The site is located on Ruta Provincial 6 at kilometre 88 in Cañuelas. An effective enquiry specifies the cattle category, intended number of head and target weight range, then requests the current timetable and participation conditions. Buyers travelling from outside the region should also agree loading order and onward transport arrangements. Its published indicators should not be treated as a quoted contract that independently secures delivery, and the location should remain linked to the former Liniers operation in future directory expansions.
