Among the types of exported tea are conventional, agroecological and organic varieties, with black tea being the most commercialized. In 2023, Paraguay exported 49,372,336 tons of tea for US$ 124.9 million to 64 countries, with the participation of 35 exporting companies, according to the Paraguayan Chamber of Sesame Exporters (Capexse).
Gilberto Osorio, president of Capexse, commented: “In Paraguay, the cultivation of tea has experienced significant technological advances, from mechanization to siembra to cosecha and trilla, eliminating the need for chemical desiccants and improving the quality of the product. This approach contributed to increasing both production and exports.”
The main destination
Between January and May 2024, 17,145,161 tons were exported. The figure represents an increase of 34% in water exports in interannual comparison. The United States remains the main importer, followed by the Netherlands, Germany, Chile and the United Kingdom.
“This increase reflects the growing economic impact of the sector, consolidating Paraguay as a world leader in tea exports. With a diversified market of 64 purchasing countries, the industry demonstrates robustness and sustainability, standing out for its ability to meet global demand and maintain high standards of quality and volume”, indicated Osorio.
