Paraguay: Livestock and Products Annual

Paraguayan beef exports in 2025 are forecast down at 450,000 tons carcass weight equivalent with an expected smaller beef supply after a very large slaughter in 2024. A severe drought in the western region forced many producers to send a greater number of cattle to market than previously planned. Local traders believe exports to the recently opened markets of the United States and Canada could increase as a result of the current strong demand in those markets. Paraguay is expected to be eligible to ship to Mexico sometime in 2025.
