The shipment was dispatched on July 9, 2026. It consisted of 27,002 kg of bone-in pork ribs in net weight, while the total gross weight of the cargo reached 28,010 kg.
SENACSA noted that the opening of the Philippine market resulted from efforts to expand the geographical reach of Paraguayan exports of animal-origin products. The agency believes the new destination will strengthen the country’s position as a supplier of safe, high-quality food products to Asia.
At the initial stage, Paraguay plans to ship one container of pork to the Philippines each month. At the same time, SENACSA emphasised that the market offers significant potential for further growth in trade volumes.
The opening of the new export destination was made possible through cooperation between public authorities and the private sector. Paraguayan producers expect to continue expanding the presence of their pork products in Asian markets.
Since the beginning of 2026, Paraguay has exported more than 8.72 million kg of pork and pork by-products. The total FOB value of these shipments exceeded US$25.5 million.
According to SENACSA, these figures demonstrate the steady growth of Paraguay’s pork industry and its strengthening position in international markets.
