frigorífico (English spelling) [Spain]

Japanese: フリゴリフィコ（英語表記）frigorífico[スペイン]

In South America, this term refers to a "freezing plant." The word's origin comes from the first refrigerated ship, "Le Frigorifique," that arrived in Argentina. In the 19th century, meat trade, with the main export market being Europe, was a major factor in the 19th century meat trade. In the Southern Hemisphere, exporters of livestock products had to cross the equator, and before refrigerated ships were put to practical use, they exported meat as dried or salted meat. Refrigerated ships were invented in France in the 1870s and put to practical use in the UK in 1880. In Argentina, the first frozen meat plant was built in 1882, and after that, local companies, as well as British and American capital, entered the freezing industry, which led to a rapid increase in frozen meat exports from the end of the 19th century onwards and was a major factor supporting the development of the livestock industry.

Japanese:

南アメリカで〈冷凍工場〉をいう。語源はアルゼンチンに到着した冷凍船第1号〈ル･フリゴリフィックLe Frigorifique〉に由来する。ヨーロッパ市場をおもな輸出市場とする19世紀の食肉貿易において，南半球の牧畜産品輸出国は赤道越えという不利な条件を抱え，冷凍船実用化以前は食肉を乾肉，塩漬肉として輸出していた。冷凍船は1870年代にフランスで発明され，80年イギリスで実用化された。アルゼンチンでは82年に最初の冷凍肉工場が建設され，その後地場企業に加えてイギリスやアメリカ資本が冷凍業に進出，それが19世紀末以降の冷凍肉輸出を急増させ，牧畜業の発展を支える主要因となった。
