Agribusiness: Paraguayan beef across 52 markets
Livestock, alongside grain, is what gives Paraguay its trade balance and much of its fuel demand. It is also a sector where the bottleneck is rarely production: it is the working capital between paying for inputs and collecting on a shipment.
The market
In 2025 Paraguay set an all-time record: 355,754 tonnes of beef exported for USD 2,130 million FOB, 20 % more in value than the previous year. Chile consolidated as the leading buyer with close to 30 % of volume, the United States closed second and Taiwan third, across a base of 52 approved markets.
That concentration is what defines the sector's commercial risk: the top four destinations account for two thirds of volume, and the remaining third is spread across another forty-eight markets. Opening or holding a new destination is worth, in practice, as much as adding head of cattle.
| Destination | Volume | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Chile | 104,402 t | 29.3 % |
| United States | 49,456 t | 13.9 % |
| Taiwan | 47,290 t | 13.3 % |
| Israel | 33,882 t | 9.5 % |
| Other 48 markets | 120,724 t | 33.9 % |
