The bloc's share of cereal exports grows, while Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay adjust their cultivation areas.

The Paraguayan Chamber of Millers (Capamol) has been in existence for about five decades. But only in recent years has this agro-industrial sector experienced exponential growth. There are now 22 mills that make up the company, while Paraguay has completely changed from being a net importer of wheat two decades ago to becoming self-sufficient and even beginning to make its own contribution to the international market. According to Enrique Arrúa, vice president of Capamol, his country has invested a lot in technology. That is why they are currently self-sufficient in wheat production and have managed to become one of the new exporters in the region. The idea of the sector is to continue expanding the business, inserting Paraguayan wheat flour and even products with greater added value into the world market. “This transformation began 20 years ago with a series of investigations and joint work that was done with different chambers. Now in Paraguay, from being an important country, the country is now a world leader in wheat production.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released an optimistic forecast for wheat production in Paraguay in its October World Agricultural Production (WAP) report. The crop for the 2024/25 marketing year is estimated at 1.3 million metric tons, which represents a 13% increase over the previous projection and a significant 46% growth when compared to the same period last year.
