Tridge summary

Paraguay is set to see a significant boost in its slaughter capacity by 2025, with an anticipated increase of nearly 20%, according to the National Service for Quality and Animal Health. This surge is primarily due to the construction of two new slaughterhouses, Victoria and Frigorífico Los Lazos, which are expected to commence operations in the latter half of 2024 and early 2025, respectively.
