Paraguay's main grain hub, 35 km south of Asunción. Handles the largest volumes of soybeans, corn, sorghum, wheat and derivatives in bulk.
The country's main export gateway, where the major agroexporters' terminals concentrate and the largest volumes of soybeans, corn, sorghum, wheat, DDGS, degummed oils and bulk commodities transit en route to transshipment in Argentina or Uruguay.
Private metropolitan terminal. Smaller volumes and bagged cargo (sesame, chia) plus 1 t big bags.
Private terminal in the Asunción metropolitan area, an operational alternative to Villeta for cargo that does not require the hub's industrial scale. Suited for smaller-volume shipments, bagged products (sesame, chia, rice, sugar) and cargo needing date flexibility.
Border with Posadas (Argentina). Direct access to the Paraná waterway towards Argentina and Brazil for the southern region.
The country's southern exit, on the border with Posadas (Argentina) via the San Roque González bridge. Serves the southern productive zone with direct access to the Paraná towards Argentina and Brazil — ideal for cargo originated in southern Paraguay or destined to Argentine and Brazilian buyers.
Port selection is not an operational default: it comes from crossing five axes we evaluate per contract.
Producing region closest to the port: north and center of the country towards Villeta or Falcon; south towards Encarnación.
Mercosur markets served by river vs. overseas with transshipment in Buenos Aires or Nueva Palmira.
Solid bulk, liquids in flexitank, polypropylene bags or big bags determine the compatible terminal.
Real loading windows depending on river convoy and ocean-vessel slot.
River freight, port fees and waiting time measured per shipment, not on nominal tariff alone.
Every contract runs through these five phases. We run them with an in-house customs broker and parallel documentation, so the buyer can audit every link without waiting for the cargo to arrive.
