Paraguay: Pork export revenues increased by 87 percent in August
The number of kilos shipped increased by almost 80%, while the value generated exceeded USD 35 million, that is, 87% more than in 2024, according to data from the National Animal Health and Quality Service (Senacsa).
Of the total exported, 85% was destined for the Taiwanese market, a country that continues to grow in importance for this sector since it eliminated tariffs on Paraguayan pork in July of this year. Uruguay, with 8%, and Brazil, with 5%, are other markets for Paraguayan pork.
Along with the increase in pork exports, there has also been an increase in the sale of pork offal abroad. In 2024, at the end of August, 21,000 kilos of offal had been exported, while this year more than 160,000 kilos of this product have already been shipped.
In terms of economic value, pork offal exports increased by 531% , reaching revenues of more than USD 93,000.
Until the end of 2023, pork exports generated less than USD 20 million in annual revenue for Paraguay. This figure will increase in 2024, exceeding USD 33 million, while with four months remaining, 2025 is already recording higher figures.
