Our Strengths in Paraguay
In Paraguay, we merchandize oilseeds, grains, seeds and fertilizers & inputs.
We have an extensive interior logistics network and a significant presence in Paraguay’s main ports on both major rivers – the Paraguay and Paraná. Combining this with extensive knowledge of both local and global markets, and a presence in key global destinations, has helped us to become one of the country’s leading exporters of grains, oilseeds and their by-products.
Oilseeds – relying on our network of warehouses, crushing plants and ports, we purchase soybeans directly from producers and deliver these either to ports for export, or to crushing facilities for processing into soybean meal and oils.
Grains – we purchase quality corn and wheat from local producers and distribute these efficiently to customers in the Middle East, Latin America, Africa and Asia, relying on our extensive logistics network – in the country and globally.
Fertilizers & Inputs – we have grown our market share in fertilizers and crop protection products, offering products and services tailored to the needs of Paraguayan producers.
Under our Macro Fertil, Macro Seed and Macro Protect brands, we offer products to help local producers boost crop productivity, while promoting the sustainable use of natural resources.
Today, our offer includes a comprehensive range of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium fertilizers, various crop protection products, and a wide variety of high quality soy, wheat and corn seeds.
Committed to Sustainability
In addition to our strong merchandizing capabilities, growing product portfolio and reputation for reliability and integrity, our leading position in grains and oilseeds is also connected with our commitment to responsible sourcing, traceable supply chains and sustainable business practices globally.
Increasing traceability in our soy operations is also central to our sustainability efforts, to encourage responsible land use and non-conversion of native vegetation for soy cultivation.
