Producto agrícola clave para las exportaciones paraguayas, objeto de negociaciones con Taiwán.
Representatives from the Paraguayan Chamber of Exporters and Marketers of Cereals and Oilseeds (Capeco) met with the Taiwan Vegetable Oil Manufacturers Association (TVOA) to restart soybean shipments, which have been suspended since 2015. The meeting took place during the Taiwan–Paraguay 2026 Strategic Industries Mission in May and raises the possibility of an initial operation later this year.
Paraguay posted a US$84.2 million trade surplus in the first quarter of 2026, reversing the previous year's deficit, thanks to the soy complex, which grew 43.2% in value. Meanwhile, electronic payments rose 24%, with 8 out of 10 transactions via QR Code, and a business mission to Taiwan opened new investment opportunities.
