Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, production of non-rendered pig fat in Paraguay grew from 3 914 t to 4 151 t, yet the domestic market size declined to 3 394 t in 2023. This divergence was driven by a sustained increase in exports, which began in 2020 and accelerated thereafter.

The export surge was fueled by the opening of the Taiwanese market in 2021, which raised producer prices by approximately 50%. At the same time, the closure of over 12 000 pig farms between 2021 and 2022 constrained local supply, while high production costs and strong competition from Brazil affected the sector's structure.

By 2025, exports had reached 1 498 t, supported by rising international lean meat prices and Paraguay's growing integration into global processed food supply chains. These factors kept domestic market volumes under pressure throughout the period.
