A sharp rise followed in 2021, pushing the market to 3 481 t, before it settled to 3 299 t in 2022 and 3 145 t in 2023.

Domestic production remained steady, growing only slightly from 1 952 t to 2 003 t over these years. The overall market fluctuations were largely driven by varying import volumes, which peaked at 1 489 t in 2021 and fell to 1 142 t by 2023.

In 2025, Paraguay enacted Ley N° 7.572, a law modernizing the securities and products market and strengthening oversight by the Central Bank and the Securities Superintendency. Concurrent improvements in logistical infrastructure and export routes were noted, which could influence the trade environment for agricultural products including plums and sloes.
