Earlier Report Observations
Paraguay's sheep and goat meat production and market volume remained stable from 2018 to 2021, moving within a narrow range of 5 064 to 5 206 tons annually. This period of relative equilibrium was followed by a sharp transformation in 2022, when output jumped by 44% to reach 7 526 tons. The surge was directly tied to the sector gaining critical access to new export markets, including sanitary authorization to ship sheep meat to the United Arab Emirates and approved health requirements for exports to Uzbekistan.
After the 2022 peak, production adjusted to 6 567 tons in 2023, though it remained significantly above pre-2022 levels. During this phase, the industry focused on strengthening its long-term foundation through genetic improvement programs for higher-quality meat and the consolidation of specialized slaughterhouses dedicated to serving premium international buyers like Israel and Singapore.
