Paraguay wants to play bigger meat role

03/08/2011
Paraguay needs to work harder to promote the quality of its beef, the external relations director of the National Animal Quality and Health Service (Senasca), Hugo Idoyaga, has said.

Mr Idoyaga was speaking at a national trade event called Expo Paraguay 2011. He said Paraguayan beef exporters were finding customers in more and more countries, but that the beef industry there needed to do more to promote itself. He said there was a great demand and need for beef and other food products today and he suggested Paraguay can play a bigger part in the international market than it has done until now.
