Mission to Paraguay DBT, UKECP &, UKTAG October 2024
The 5th of October 2024 was the start of another exhausting, but exciting quest for Rob Grinnall, representing UKECP and UKTAG, to Paraguay.
Paraguay is a key player in the world food production: a country of 7 million in population that produces and exports food for nearly 100 million people in a wide variety of products such as corn, soya, beef (8th largest global beef exporter ) and by-products, and other proteins, fruits and vegetables. The state has promises for sustainable development and collaboration with UK’s Agri and Agri-tech ecology thanks to its extremely rich soils and favorable climates.
Rob organized books and promotional materials for the UK agri-tech industry at the MAF LATAC’s offer. It was an experimental visit that would provide ideas for cooperating sectors. It was intended to promote renewable agriculture in the nation.
The goal was sponsored by DBT, Brown &, Co and Berkemeyer.
Meetings began promptly on Monday morning with brunch at His Majesty’s Ambassador Ramin Navai’s House, where the delegation members were introduced.
- His Majesty’s Ambassador Ramin Navai.
- Charles Whitaker – Brown &, Co
- Pedro Guarderas – Brown &, Co
- William Turner – LEIFF
- Martin Forsen – Silvipar
- Dr Rob Grinnall MRCVS – UKECP, UKTAG
- Tamanna Sidika, first secretary for agriculture and mercosur ( agricultural attaché ), is at the British Embassy in Brasilia.
- Federico Wodtke – LATAC Agri-Tech Leadn British Embassy, Buenos Aires
- Gonzalo Grosso – Trade &, Investment Office, British Embassy Asunción
- Karol Garcia – Climate Change, British Embassy Asunción
HMA Navai described the ideal setting that he found in Paraguay:
- Socially firm
- UK pleasant
- Younger people
The second stop was La Mision Hotel, where LEIFF and Berkemeyer, sponsors of the event, presented on conducting business in Paraguay and the numerous advantages offered, including a 10 % tax rate, and then moved on to Silvipar’s work in the pine forest sector. This was a fascinating overview of all the efforts being made to rebuild the agricultural sector of the nation in terms of the effects of the weather. Forestry is a significant source of income and business because the trees of Paraguay were almost entirely destroyed in the past few decades.
That evening a meeting with CEA y APPEC ( Center of Agricultural Experimentation ) allowed further sharing of information and experience in agriculture.
The four members were given interviews for Forbes journal on Tuesday night. When one considers that a new version featured the Predisent have on the front support and within, this was no mean success. Everyone enjoyed being able to reveal their visit to Fabricio Meza, the interviewer.
CREA ( Regional Consortium for Agricultural Experimentation ), a group of young farmers and families who wanted to share knowledge and experience on their farms, hosted lunch.
We were introduced to IPTA ( National Agritech Institute ) during the afternoon meeting at the British Embassy. This once more provided an understanding of the requirements and difficulties faced by the agricultural field in Paraguay.
They explained the need for advancement, and R&, D in agriculture. They do look for UK training and may support national sheep production as well as the beef industry. They might be looking to grow beef animals as well.
In the evening, the bulls bidding in Asuncion with Las Talas, where local foods and beverages were sold for local products and beverages, was one of the features of the attend.

Wednesday morning started with a conference with Dr. Hugo González – Biogenetics, who was interested in what we could sell Paraguay in terms of equine and bovine biology. Dr González expressed curiosity on sequencing, new biology and products. He felt that new lineages were needed for the Angus and Hereford industries, and that some areas were interested in animals milk for butter production.
We then made a quick walk to the SENASCA office, where we discussed the most recent review of the cattle semen EHC with a full group of officials, including their president. Discussions centered on the issues with bovine disease and background power in the UK. The discussions centered on establishing the controls to prevent conflicts of interest and the validity of our program. Paraguay and all other importing nations are concerned about the security of their agricultural industries, and the UK offers safe, high-quality investment for exports.
Bo Ranch– This beautiful hacienda-style house produced high-quality livestock for expositions and exhibits.
They had been duped into Texels and Hampshires by being primarily a cow manufacturer. Both Brahmans and Bradfords were shown. They targeted sample calf in the cattle using fixed timed Artificial with fresh sperm. The 50 % Bradford who was the best victim was also discovered during zygote exchange work in the animals. Intense heat and illnesses like habronemiasis and fleas are the problems. Given that it was not show time, the show cattle were receiving a 40 % supplement and were in excellent condition. The Bradford placed third in LATAM and third in Paraguay.
The animals are kept in shelters for the majority of the time, but exceedingly, the lambs are kept in isolation for one day after they are 30 days old. Although this seemed like an unexpected system, it was believed that the ewes were no washing enough and that putting the lambs on hard feed at the very beginning had a benefit.
The sheep were bred with imported UK Texel penis and genetics from Uruguay. It was first days of the job, but the job could be seen to be working.
Las Magnolias – We moved on to the next house, which the Minister for the Environment’s woman owned. She has a land of cattle, sheep, Falabella compact and Criollo animals. This woman was attempting to enter Texel animal breeding, which she lacked because of her love for her animal. Additionally, she had only one lamb and one Hampshire sheep. Her desire to increase her share and participate in this innovative business was unmistakable.
The growth rates for some imported embryos were lower than expected, and the adoption rate for some had been slashed. Additionally, there was a lack of color in some areas of the eyes and muzzles in others. The temperature endured in this region of Paraguay was a source of struggle for the true UK genetics, but the combination with the Uruguayan texels seems to make a change. We talked about grazing at night when it might be cooler, but there are real concerns about wild dog boxes and incidents.
Given that electricity is so inexpensive in a nation where all the energy comes from massive water dams, it might be possible to use buildings with no grazing and be cool with mists and fans. She graciously accepted our request to return to her mother’s home, where we had a delicious meal made with bread cheese and jam.
Oujeja Texel Farm – Ultimately, on to Oujeja Texel Farm, where our network Ignazio kept his record-breaking Texel sheep. Like with all lineage producers, Ignacio has thought this through and is putting in a lot of effort and work. His property are watched 24/7 against fraud. The stables are being cultivated for better grass, and supplementary feeding and management inks are planned.
We put a focus on the need to keep the property looking good and selling to the right persons. It is crucial to maintain a strong company image and not to offer to areas where genetic testing is unsuccessful.
Suddenly, most success so far is in UK x Uruguayan biology. They appear to have a much more warmth weight and smaller heads, which are needed to facilitate management.
The take-home messages from this arduous time were:
The take-home messages from this arduous time were:
- Do n’t try to replace native stock, rather improve.
- Talk to local control issues, whether they be heat, extremes, bad forage, thefts.
- Collaborate with breeding stock preparing whether it is done before or after implantation.
- Use of product and feeds may be substantial.
Lastly, in closing on this awesome and punishing journey, the information for the UK and the agri-sector are much the same.
Conservation of the cattle in a changing environment.
Productivity increases revenue per animal unit and feeds more people.
We can play a role in ensuring that the atmosphere is managed in crops around the world.
Working together in farming through agri-tech is a fantastic way to promote UK corporation and demonstrate our leadership in the field.
