Paraguayan rice exports exceed 1 million tons

Impressive growth in Paraguay's rice sector

Paraguay's agroindustrial sector has great reasons to celebrate. Information originally published by La Nación shows that the country reached the historic milestone of 1,055,808 tons of exported rice at the close of September 2026. This expressive volume generated revenue of 236.9 million dollars, demonstrating the strength and resilience of the Paraguayan productive chain, even in the face of international price variations.

Added value and industrial development

One of the great highlights of this achievement is that over 90% of the volume sent abroad corresponds to industrialized product. This means that the milling and processing of the grain take place within Paraguayan territory, generating more job opportunities in factories, processing industries, and throughout the country's logistics and transportation chain.
