Paraguay. In terms of agro-industrial products, the country is the world&#39;s leading exporter of organic sugar, fourth world exporter of soybeans, second world producer of stevia, fifth world exporter of soybean oil, fifth world producer of chia, sixth world exporter of meat and one of the main energy exporters. There are 25 main export products, of which eight are agricultural commodities and 17 items from the manufacturing sector. Other items such as wheat, corn, sesame and rice have joined the traditional exports of soybeans and frozen meat. All these agricultural commodities have represented an average of 58% of Paraguayan exports in the last decade. Table 22.
