In addition, the export association highlighted that Paraguay shipped some 7.9 million tons of soybeans abroad last year.
Capeco’s Foreign Trade advisor, Sonia Tomassone, explained that this South American nation “has the potential to produce 15 million tons.
Tomassone also highlighted that last year’s results were due to climatic factors, “good practices” by producers and the use of technology, “not to the expansion of the area” sown.
