“The Paraguayan herd has been increasing faster than any other of the Mercosul countries due to increased investments in cattle ranching there”.
The estimated cost of the project is between US$60-80m.
“Paraguay exports a major portion of its production and exports would be the main focus of any new project there,” added the spokesperson.
