Paraguay: Historic production and excellent quality of national potatoes in 2025

Potato farming in Paraguay has become a true productive and social phenomenon. What began as a pilot alternative source of income now represents a key source of employment, income, and economic dynamism in numerous rural communities. From soil preparation, planting, and cultural care to harvesting and marketing, potato production involves thousands of Paraguayan families who find in this sector a concrete opportunity for progress.

During the production season, the local economy is intensely active: family labor is generated, businesses, transporters, collectors, and an entire chain that strengthens the social and economic fabric of the towns are active. This year, the production results confirm a successful harvest and record yield, achieved thanks to the use of high-quality genetic material, certified seeds, and appropriate technical management. This reflects the joint efforts of sectors committed to the development of the sector, transforming the Paraguayan agricultural landscape and promoting a modern, efficient, and proudly national agriculture.

In terms of profitability, potatoes are positioned as one of the country’s most solid agricultural products, consolidating their position as a viable alternative for diversifying production and improving rural quality of life. However, Paraguay still imports a large portion of its domestic consumption, demonstrating the enormous potential for continued growth and import substitution, while maintaining foreign currency within the country.

Technical support and the provision of quality inputs from companies like Alfi Importaciones have been essential to achieving advances in productivity and sustainability. Paraguayan potatoes not only provide food but also generate jobs, boost the economy, and strengthen the country’s productive identity.
