Earlier Report Observations

The Paraguayan groundnut oil market experienced significant fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. Production and market volume initially rose sharply in 2020, reaching 3 200 metric tons, supported by substantial industrial investment and trade expansion. According to industry reports, around 23 companies were engaged in peanut and peanut oil processing by 2018, with cumulative investments of USD 708 million and the creation of thousands of jobs. This industrial base, along with the commercial diversification of key players like PROIN into edible oils and the government's success in opening 35 new export markets for agricultural goods, provided a foundation for market growth.

After the 2020 peak, the market entered a sustained decline. The launch of hemp-based food and cosmetic products in 2021 introduced a new competitor in the vegetable oil segment, potentially diverting consumer interest and investment. Regulatory challenges became more pronounced in 2022, as the national food authority (INAN) reported a lack of technical documentation and sanitary registrations specifically for peanut butter products, hindering formal market development. Concurrent reports of widespread illegal importation of edible oils further undermined the regulated market's volume. These factors contributed to a contraction of the legal market to 1 207 metric tons by 2023.
