Ten major fish producers in Paraguay have come together to export tilapia and access major fish markets such as Europe.

Paraguay has doubled its tilapia production in recent years, and its 1,600 farmers now produce about 4,000 tonnes a year. It does not currently export tilapia, but the new group hopes to open up export markets by working together.

Paraguay is also supporting its local tilapia industry with a fish farming training programme.
