Paraguay's slaughter capacity will increase by 20 percent in 2025

The increase is due to two new meat processing plants that will be operating in the country with an export objective. One of them is the Victoria unit, which has been operating since the second half of 2024, and the other is Frigorífico Los Lazos, which will open its plant at the beginning of 2025.

"Taking the second half of 2024 to the end of the first half of 2025, Paraguay's slaughter capacity will increase by 20%," said Senacsa president José Carlos Martin.

He explained that this will bring more purchasing pressure from the industry to the market. "Two new meat packing plants are entering the market that are very large, which will bring competitiveness to the sector, which is always a good thing. There will be more competion for cattle", he said.

However, Martin said that "we are still slaughtering fewer animals than we produce", and he considered that this year's cattle slaughter could vary by 5% from the closing figures for 2024, reaching a figure of approximately 2.05 million animals.
