en.Wedoany.com Reported - Paraguay's sheep farming chain has officially exported lamb to the United Arab Emirates for the first time, marking a new milestone in the country's international market expansion. The transaction was completed by Frigorífico Victoria, involving approximately 12 tons of product; the deal was finalized in February, but shipment was delayed due to logistical difficulties caused by the Middle East conflict.

Beyond the initial sale, this business has shown continuity. According to Valor Agro, the industry has signed a second contract with UAE buyers, requiring the reorganization of supplies in the coming weeks to fill a new container. To meet demand, the industry will seek lambs with a post-slaughter weight of 8 to 22 kilograms and a maximum of four teeth. The next shipment is expected to require approximately 800 head, and the industry hopes to gather this quantity within about a month.

This export is a positive signal for Paraguay's sheep farming sector, which is seeking to diversify markets and expand the share of alternative proteins in its export supply. The move confirms international buyers' interest in Paraguayan lamb and opens up possibilities for establishing more stable trade flows to high-value markets.
