The Intelligence Directorate of the Investment and Export Network (Rediex) reported that, in the first half of the year, Paraguayan products managed to connect with more countries for distribution, reaching a value of USD 10.9 million.

It is worth mentioning that, although Paraguay already has a commercial relationship with these countries, such as Mexico, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, the United States, Peru, among others, these aforementioned manufactures entered these markets for the first time in the first half of 2024.
