Paraguay: Grain and Feed Annual

Paraguay’s wheat exports inn marketing year (MY) 2025/26 are forecast at 550,000 metric tons (MT), edging up slightly from the previous year, supported by a modest expansion in planted area even as yields may decline marginally. Corn exports are projected to fall 12 percent to 2.9 million tons, as rising domestic demand driven by ethanol production and feed consumption use continues to tighten exportable supplies despite flat production at 5.2 million tons. Rice exports are forecast at 790,000 MT (milled basis), holding steady year-over-year. Notably, rice area is expected to reach a record high despite narrowing profit margins as larger well capitalized producers enter the market.
