Earlier Report Observations

Production of pig fat free of lean meat and poultry fat in Paraguay increased from 3 914 t in 2018 to 4 531 t in 2022, before declining to 4 151 t in 2023. The domestic market volume followed a similar trend, reaching 4 246 t in 2020 but then contracting to 3 394 t in 2023 as exports began to rise. High input costs for corn and soybeans in 2022 pressured producer profitability, contributing to the subsequent production decrease.

Exports of this product started in 2020 with 12 t and grew significantly to 603 t in 2021, reflecting the industry's search for new markets such as Taiwan and the Philippines. The elimination of the 12.5% tariff on pork in Taiwan from July 2025 provided a competitive advantage, further boosting export competitiveness. International investments, like the USD 300 million from Grupo Costas for new slaughterhouses and farms, supported production capacity.

By 2025, exports reached 1 498 t, supported by the total elimination of the pork tariff in Taiwan and the opening of emerging markets like the Philippines and Singapore through sanitary negotiations. Historical growth in pork production and slaughter, along with international investments in processing infrastructure, facilitated this export expansion.
