The Expo Paraguay 2026, organized by the Asociación Rural del Paraguay (ARP), a guild representing Paraguay's rural producers, concluded with results that exceeded the organization's expectations, both in the number of visitors and in the generation of business opportunities that will continue to develop after the event, as highlighted by Arnaldo Decoud, the ARP's Finance Director.
Decoud stated that one of the main successes of this edition was surpassing the attendance targets set in relation to the previous year. He also emphasized the importance of the joint work between experienced leaders and new generations, which strengthens the institution's continuity.
The event has evolved from a showcase of the country's productive potential into a space for the convergence of ideas, the generation of projects, and the building of strategic alliances between the public and private sectors. Many of the contacts established during the fair are expected to turn into commercial agreements and investments, prolonging the exhibition's economic impact.
For the first time, the schedule included three international artists on the weekends, complementing the performances by national artists and strengthening the cultural and family entertainment offering. The ARP maintained one of its main objectives: the inclusion of small and medium-sized producers.
Decoud also emphasized the fundamental role of communication in giving visibility to exhibitors, attracting investors, and facilitating interest from potential commercial partners. He invited producers of all sizes to approach the ARP and its regional offices to actively participate in the institution and influence public policies that strengthen national production.
