He also explained that local demand is guaranteed, so prices will not be affected. "The prices in these markets are not much higher than what we work with in other alternative destinations. it will not affect local prices," Randy Ross told LN.

The expected EXPORT volumes will not be very large in principle, so domestic supplies are reliable and therefore prices will not be affected. On the other hand, he admitted that the announcement of a visit by Japanese technical experts to speed up the opening of their market to ours has also generated great enthusiasm and expectations.

"We have been knocking on doors and moving at a snail's pace for over seven years. Now the first Japanese audit in Paraguay will finally be completed, which represents a significant step forward in the accreditation process," said Randy Ross.

The chamber president noted that once the formal approval is given, the next steps in the trade talks will be in the hands of Singapore's meat processors and importers. The first closures are likely to take place next week, with the first shipments likely to be completed in about a month and a half.

For his part, President Santiago Peña confirmed that this is an important step for our economy, especially for our national brand: meat. “Exporting more means growing more, creating opportunities and positioning Paraguay as a country that produces with quality, vision and pride. We continue to pave the way for Paraguay’s development. More exports, more jobs, more development,” he said.
