AGP Executive Report
Last update: 31 minutes agoTrade: The Mercosur-Singapore trade pact entered into force between Singapore and Argentina on Nov. 1; it is already active with the bloc’s other founding members, including Paraguay. It phases out tariffs on about 96% of products and could widen opportunities in food, energy and logistics. Agriculture: IFC financing will help Agrofértil expand pre-harvest loans, farm inputs and digital tools that combine climate and agronomic data, particularly for small and midsize producers. Energy: Itaipú reopened its spillway as Paraná River floodwaters eased, while separately studying up to 1 GW of solar capacity to support Paraguay’s grid. Food production: Paraguay’s egg consumption has climbed to an estimated 320–350 per person a year, up from 180 in 2024, signalling stronger demand for poultry products. Beef: US tariff relief for imports from Paraguay and other South American suppliers has weighed on US cattle prices; tighter supplies in several major producing countries may reshape export opportunities.
