September 1, 2025. Paraguay's beef exports have shown record growth from the beginning of this year through August, reaching a total of $1.425 billion, a 32.5% increase compared to the previous year. This rapid growth is attributed to increased demand from key markets such as the United States, Israel, and Taiwan. In terms of volume, exports exceeded 247,000 tons, an 11.68% increase from the same period last year, proving the vitality of Paraguay's livestock industry. Notably, Chile has solidified its position as the largest customer, accounting for 33% of the total export value.

The export of beef offal has also been strong. It generated $95.5 million in revenue through August of this year, a remarkable 74.8% growth rate year-on-year. The volume was approximately 51,000 tons, a 51.25% increase from 2024. This is an important indicator that Paraguay's livestock products have international competitiveness not only in the premium meat market but also in various cuts. The growth in offal exports is having a positive ripple effect on livestock farms and related industries.

Major Export Market Trends

Chile remains the most important market for Paraguayan beef. This year, it maintained its undisputed No. 1 position by importing $464.9 million worth of beef (77,200 tons). Meanwhile, Taiwan has risen to second place with purchases exceeding $200 million, rapidly expanding its market share. Israel took third place, importing $152.9 million (24,000 tons). Other major export destinations include the United States ($126.2 million) and Brazil ($83.1 million).

The diversification of major markets serves as a factor that increases the stability of Paraguay's livestock industry. In the case of the U.S. market, in particular, export volumes continue to increase despite recent new tariff policies, raising expectations for future growth potential.

Past, Present, and Future Outlook

Paraguay's beef exports have grown steadily since 2017, peaking in 2021. After a brief slowdown, they are showing a strong recovery this year, surpassing previous highs in both dollar-based export value and volume. This shows that the Paraguayan livestock industry is maintaining its competitiveness through innovation and quality management even in a challenging external environment.

In addition, pork exports are also continuing to grow. Taiwan is the overwhelming No. 1 customer, accounting for 85% of total pork exports, followed by Uruguay (8%) and Brazil (5%). This overall strength in the meat export market is establishing itself as a key driver of the Paraguayan economy. Experts predict that based on the current growth momentum, Paraguay will occupy a more important position in the global meat market. If the continuous expansion of export markets and efforts to improve quality are combined, the future of the Paraguayan livestock industry looks even brighter.
