b. Export Products Summary

In 2016 approximately 50% of the exports went to MERCOSUR, of
which 70% of the destination was Brazil. The other 50% went
outside of MERCOSUR, mainly to the EU, Russia and some Asian
countries. Although the exports of soybean and its products by
volume increased, the revenue is lower due to lower international
prices of those commodities. Meat and meat products have been
on the increase. Refer to Tables 7 and 8.
