en.Wedoany.com Reported - Paraguay's wheat exports achieved significant growth in the first five months of 2026, with both export volume and value rising, solidifying its position as one of the country's best-performing agricultural products during this period.

According to the foreign trade report released by the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP), from January to May 2026, wheat exports showed one of the largest expansions in the primary products sector, with export volume reaching 367,600 tons, compared to 225,100 tons in the same period of 2025. This result represents an increase of 142,500 tons in export volume, a year-on-year growth of 63.3%.

Alongside the growth in export volume, wheat export revenue also improved. From January to May 2025, export revenue stood at $55.1 million (equivalent to R$303.05 million at the current exchange rate), while it rose to $79.2 million (equivalent to R$435.6 million at the current exchange rate) in the same period of 2026. As a result, wheat brought an additional $24.1 million (equivalent to R$132.55 million at the current exchange rate) in foreign exchange revenue to the country, a year-on-year increase of 43.8%.

BCP data shows that wheat was one of the most active primary products in exports, contributing 0.5 percentage points positively to the export growth during the period. Although soybeans still account for the largest share of primary exports, wheat's share has increased due to simultaneous growth in both export volume and international market revenue. In terms of proportion, from January to May 2026, wheat accounted for 4.3% of total primary product export volume and 1.5% of total export value. This performance indicates a significant recovery compared to the same period last year, making wheat one of the crops with the largest relative growth in Paraguay's export basket in the first five months of this year.
