Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the Paraguayan orange market volume grew steadily, reaching 260 thousand tons. This expansion was supported by favorable weather patterns and increased investment in agricultural technology, which boosted domestic production. The launch of the Tienda Naranja marketplace in mid-2020 further facilitated market access and contributed to consumption growth.

After a slight dip in 2021, the market rebounded strongly in 2022, with volume jumping to 280 thousand tons. This surge was primarily due to efforts by the Paraguayan Institute of Agrarian Technology (IPTA) to develop virus-free citrus seedlings, improving crop health and yields. Concurrent investments in the commercialization of certified plantains helped expand production capacity.

Growth continued into 2023, with the market reaching 288 thousand tons. Ongoing favorable climate conditions and technology adoption, coupled with the active role of major producers like Frutika and Cítricos Paraguay, sustained the upward trend. The international demand for oranges and derived products like petitgrain oil also provided additional stimulus.
