Tridge summary

Over 20 ports on the Paraguay and Paraná rivers are active for soybean exports, with a significant portion exported to Brazil. The Friendship Bridge remains the primary exit point, but other centers like Salto del Guairá, Puerto Indio, Itaipú Porã, and Troncal 3 are also contributing to the growth in the sector.
