Paraguay is expecting to export large volumes of rice to Brazil, despite seeking to reduce dependence on the neighboring country and expand shipments to other markets. The article highlights that due to floods in Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil's largest rice producer, it is anticipated that Brazil will be a significant market for Paraguayan rice again this year. However, the article also mentions that Colombia, a potential market for Paraguayan rice, has import restrictions and quotas that make it difficult for Paraguay to enter. Currently, Paraguay is resuming exports to Central America and Mexico, and is maintaining access to 33 markets, including Chile, Peru, Israel, and Portugal.
