What's included

From market to decision

Each section answers a concrete question an entrepreneur or investor asks before entering.

An early-stage market

Specialty coffee grows in Paraguay against tereré (81.6% urban penetration) and mate cocido (69% of households): the report reads that cultural barrier, the very low per-capita consumption and imports that surged +71.8% in 2025.

Asunción by neighbourhood

A reading of Villa Morra, Las Mercedes, Carmelitas, the historic downtown (Palma street) and Recoleta, with audience, ticket, rent per m² and the density of the specialty scene.

Cold brew as the entry lever

Paraguay imports almost all of its coffee: the report quantifies that barrier on the margin and explains why cold brew and cold drinks —given the climate and the cold-drink culture of tereré— are the lever to enter the habit.

Fiscal, regulatory and sustainability

10% VAT on coffee (unlike yerba mate at the 5% basic-basket rate), IRE regimes, 16.5% IPS payroll costs, minimum wage, Municipality of Asunción licensing + INAN registration and EUDR (does not apply unless exporting to the EU).
