Paraguay: Oilseeds and Products Annual

Post forecasts Paraguay's soybean production at 11.1 million metric tons (MMT) in MY2026/27, down from the previous year's record as yields normalize, while planted area remains largely unchanged at 3.5 million hectares (MHA), illustrating the limited expansion potential. Exports are projected to decline to 7.3 MMT on lower production and more typical demand from Argentina, which will continue to dominate trade flows, while crush is expected to ease to 3.6 MMT as margins soften. Paraguay's soybean industry remains highly export-oriented. Soymeal production and exports are forecast slightly lower, though longer-term demand growth is expected from Paraguay's expanding, export-driven pork sector. Soybean oil output is also projected to decline modestly to 685,000 MT, with exports of 600,000 MT far outweighing domestic consumption.
