About Argentina
Argentina is the corned beef brand Century Pacific Food calls the leader in canned meat in the Philippines, in the market since 1995. The company says it launched with longer-stranded corned beef in 175-gram cans at a low price, when local canned meat came in 150-gram sizes, and reached number one in less than a year. Argentina Giniling, a ground pork mix, became the sixth brand in the portfolio to pass one billion in revenues in only its fifth year.
