According to sources from SENAVE, the reduction of products revenues responds directly to a hard drought occurred in 2012 and large volumes of products could not be sold, At the same time, the price of the dollar was low during that year which increased income products.

Paraguay agrochemicals and fertilizers business achieved an increase of 13% reaching $3,043 million in 2013.

It should be noted that the entry of fertilizers and plant protection products has three legal ways, which are through the processing industries, the formulator and multinational companies which import the product totally prepared.

There are also reports of triangulation and smuggling of these products that move $ 10 million.
