The article highlights the challenges faced by farmers in Paraguay due to adverse weather conditions and increasing costs. The yield of soybeans planting varies greatly, with some achieving as low as 2,000 kg and others up to 4,000 kg per hectare. The early planting in September resulted in better yields and quality, while those planted later suffered due to hot and dry weather.

He pointed out that the trend is to get worse if costs do not improve and recalled that 25 days ago the cost of silage was at USD 45 to 50, but “now we are talking about 70 to 75 dollars, Chicago is picking up a little and the final buyer in the port is already raising 20 to 25 dollars and that makes the profit prospects of the producers to ...
