More about Paraguay
Business
Since Paraguay has only a few raw materials that can be mined, agriculture is traditionally the economic basis of the country. With a gross national income (GNI) of (2017) US $ 3,920 per resident, Paraguay is one of the middle-income developing countries, characterized by a large public and a considerable informal sector (including smuggling and brand piracy). Since the 1960s, Paraguay has pursued a strong protectionist economic policy (isolated internal market, state subsidies, especially for industry). Thanks to high agricultural and hydroelectric exports, the gross domestic product grew(GDP) between 1965 and 1980 on an annual average by 7%. A significant decline in growth rates since the 1980s led the country into a severe economic crisis, combined with an increase in national debt and a significant increase in unemployment. Despite persistent negative framework conditions such as the hesitantly implemented structural reforms (liberalization of the economy, privatization of large state-owned companies), the excessive bureaucracy, the lack of legal certainty and the pronounced corruption, soy has been able to sell its main export products to soy since 2003 as a result of high world market prices and beef, economic stabilization can be achieved (growth rates 2003–08: 6.8%; 2009–14: 5.6%; 2016: 4.1%). The unemployment rate (2017) is 6.5% (2002: 27%), the inflation rate (2017) 3.5% (2003: 14%). The external debt is (2016) US $ 6.29 billion.
Foreign trade: The chronically deficit foreign trade balance (import value 2016: 9.8 billion US $, export value: 8.5 billion US $) can be largely offset by the income inflows from the hydropower plants and the cash transfers from Paraguayans living abroad. Food (33.8%) and raw materials (27.6%) top the list among export products. The main customer countries are Brazil (30.8%), Russia (10.8%) and Argentina (7.4%). The main imports are electronics, petroleum, chemical products, machines and vehicles. The most important supplier countries are Brazil (27.8%), China (25.3%) and Argentina (14.5%).
Agriculture
Around 27% of the employed work in the agricultural sector; they generate 20.0% of GDP. The agricultural area consists of 5.0 million hectares of arable land and permanent crops (12.3% of the national area) as well as 17.4 million hectares of permanent meadows and pastures. While the grassy corridors of the Gran Chaco are almost exclusively used for grazing, Eastern Paraguay, in addition to its importance as the main meat producer, is also the most important growing area in the country (especially in the fertile plains of the La Plata basin). Soybeans (two thirds of the cultivated area), cotton, corn, wheat and cassava are the main crops. With a harvest of 9.2 million tons (2016), Paraguay is one of the largest soy exporters in the world. Cattle farming (2016: 13.9 million cattle) focuses on the production of meat and hides, and less on the dairy industry. Smallholder farms that have formed cooperatives with the support of the Catholic Church are predominant. Despite several agricultural reforms, however, large farms (2,
Forestry: The forests, which cover 39.4% of the country’s area, are turned into precious woods, tannins, essential oils and others. won for export. Development work on the Paraná has led to extensive uncontrolled deforestation. Paraguay is one of the countries with the highest deforestation rates in the world. In the past 50 years, the forest area has been reduced by more than 65%. Even in the national parks, trees are illegally cut down. The felling is used for the export of raw wood and for the supply of firewood.
Natural resources
Proven deposits of titanium, manganese and copper ores are still hardly being exploited. Paraguay is important as an exporter of electrical energy from the cross-border hydropower plants Itaipú (Brazil) and Yacyretá-Apipé (Argentina) on Paraná. Around 75% of the 55.2 billion kWh generated in 2015 are exported.
Industry
The industrial sector (including construction) generates 30.3% of GDP. More than two thirds of industrial production comes from the processing of agricultural and forestry products: meat processing (canned food, meat extract, frozen meat), extraction of vegetable oils, cotton ginning, sugar production, leather processing, textile industry. The wood industry includes sawmills, veneer and plywood factories. The construction and cement industries benefit in particular from the large hydropower projects. Most of the production is concentrated in the capital region.
Tourism
The tourism sector is considered to be particularly worthy of support (including expansion of the infrastructure). In the period from 2010 to 2017, the number of foreign tourists tripled to almost 1.6 million, and income from tourism even quintupled to US $ 619.17 million.
The main tourist attractions are Asunción, the Itaipú reservoir with the hydroelectric power station and the Jesuit missions La Santisima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangue (UNESCO World Heritage since 1993).
