Paraguayan President Santiago Peña says Paraguay is increasing beef shipments to the United States. He makes the comments during a Bloomberg Television interview in New York, saying the country is sending more beef to the US.
Peña also says the US has asked Paraguay for additional volumes amid high beef prices in the American market. He adds that, unlike Argentina, Paraguay has not been given a specific US export quota. The president contrasts the situation by noting that the Trump administration set a quota for Argentina, while Paraguay’s access is handled differently.
The accounts align on the broader point that US authorities want more beef from Paraguay to address elevated prices, but they differ in emphasis mainly around the regulatory mechanism—Peña highlights that Paraguay is not operating under a quota, even as export expectations rise.
