According to data from the Office of Agricultural Studies and Policies (Odepa) of Chile, Paraguay continues to consolidate itself as the main supplier of imported beef in the period January-October 2024. During this period, imports from Paraguay reached a total of 96,619 tons, which represents an increase of 0.9% compared to the same period of the previous year. In terms of value, Paraguayan beef imports totaled US$ 524,986 thousand, with a slight increase of 2.0% compared to 2023. However, the average price per ton was US$ 5,434, which represents a growth of 1.1% compared to the previous year, highlighting the competitiveness and quality of the product. These data reflect Paraguay's key role in supplying beef to the Chilean market, consolidating itself as a leader in both volume and market share.

In a year where all expectations for beef exports to the United States market were exceeded, Paraguay set a new sales target and expects the destination to represent between 12 and 15% of total shipments in 2025. “The United States has been something magnificent,” Senacsa president José Carlos Martin told Valor Agro. Between January and November, the North American market ranked third in volume, with a total of 25,309 tons, only below Chile and Taiwan.

"We exceeded the forecast of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) by 4 times and the Senacsa forecast by 2.5 times," confirmed José Carlos Martin in an interview with Valor Agro. He added: "The United States is a very large ...
