A proposal by Senator Jon Tester to ban Paraguayan beef in the United States market due to foot-and-mouth disease concerns was not considered within the required deadlines in the Chamber of Deputies, as the focus shifted to the 2025 budget. With the current administration and the upcoming change in parliament and presidency, the proposal failed, maintaining access for Paraguayan beef in the U.S. market. Despite Tester's opposition, the market has been significant for Paraguayan beef exports, placing the country third in volume and fourth in turnover in 2024.
