Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for starch-manufacture residues in Paraguay rose consistently from 14 614 tons in 2018 to 17 208 tons in 2023. The most pronounced growth occurred in 2021, when the market expanded by 4.9%. In 2022, the increase continued at a slower pace of 1.5%, coinciding with the Russia-Ukraine conflict's impact on global agricultural markets, which affected input costs and demand for agricultural commodities in Paraguay, likely stimulating local starch production and thereby raising residue output.

The period also saw the emergence of initiatives that could shape the market's future direction. By 2025, an international alliance began producing biodegradable bags from cassava starch, highlighting the growing use of starch in biodegradable products. Simultaneously, government policies promoted hazardous waste management and circular economy principles, creating a framework for more structured industrial waste handling.
