The experiments performed by Embrapa and the Copacol Agricultural Research Center identified the three most profitable\u00a0farming\u00a0models, which include\u00a0the introduction of brachiaria, black oats and wheat into the production system<\/strong>.

Corn\u00a0harvest\u00a0is expected to reach 3.64 million\u00a0<\/strong>tonnes\u00a0<\/strong>for the 2024 harvest. Most departments in Paraguay suffered new production declines, because of losses recorded due to adverse weather conditions that shortened the production cycle and, consequently, have brought forward the harvest, which is close to being completed. (StoneX Consulting)<\/p>\nTwo months after the\u00a0beginning\u00a0of\u00a0corn exports from the 2024 harvest, 227,003<\/strong>\u00a0tonne<\/strong>s were exported<\/strong>, which is 46 thousand\u00a0tonnes\u00a0more than in the same period of 2023. This is due to improvements in land logistics. \u201cThe improvement in land logistics, especially on the Ciudad del Este\/Foz de Iguaz\u00fa border, explains this greater dynamism\u201d, highlighted Sonia Tomassone, Foreign Trade advisor at the\u00a0Paraguayan Chamber of Exporters and Traders of Cereals and Oilseeds. (Capeco)<\/p>\nThe scenario for the new soybean harvest in the country is challenging<\/strong>, according to economist and former finance minister Manuel Ferreira Brusquetti. \u201cThe current soybean prices are a consequence of the increase in production in Brazil combined with the good weather in the United States. Both factors generated a significant accumulation of global stock\u201d, said Brusquetti.\u00a0International soybean prices have returned to pre-war levels between Ukraine and Russia, which worries farmers.\u00a0\u201cParaguay will have to adjust its sales dates and start selling differently from what has been practiced up until now\u201d, stated the former minister.

The Ministry of Agriculture pointed out that the country’s fruit production is considered as having the highest quality in the world. Peru seeks\u00a0to expand production to other sectors, such as meat, and will invest in infrastructure to improve the country’s water resources. \u201cWe want to\u00a0compete and diversify the agro-export of vegetables and fruits<\/strong>… this government will end its term in 2026, leaving signed contracts for irrigation infrastructure works benefiting 238 thousand new hectares\u201d, said Angel Manero, Minister of Agriculture.

The productive sector warns that the Bill is counterproductive: Jorge Rodr\u00edguez, president of the Rural Federation, said that it is neither necessary nor appropriate.
