Bioceanica (Bi-Ocean Highway)

Investment focus on the Chaco region in the department of Boqueron of Northwestern Paraguay, an area that provides for
outstanding conditions for agricultural production.

This area is controlled by German descendants and infrastructure is advanced according to South American standards.

The Chaco region makes for about 60% of the country's surface area - with only approximately 4% of its population.

Examples of Infrastructure under development (2022):

A relatively small country in the heart of South America that offers ideal conditions for investments in beef producing farmland. The most significant favorable aspects include:

Foreign investor friendly political environment - no restrictions on foreign ownership

Lowest taxation in the region

Stable economy - In 2020, Paraguay recorded the smallest GDP contraction in the region

The Chaco Area features:

Advanced infrastructure and resources managed by German communities

Low land prices compared to international and regional standards

Highly fertile soils with exceptional production capacity

Organic livestock production without the use of additives or hormones

Development of Infrastructure

A stable, foreign investor friendly political environment combined with highly fertile farmland at low costs make Paraguay unique

Trans Chaco Highway

Currently the biggest driver for value appreciation of land - and opportunity in production - is the Paraguayan Chaco's quickly growing public infrastructure. As the Chaco region has traditionally been somewhat underdeveloped compared to the rest of the region, some commodities were difficult to transport and access to international markets only possible through one single lane access road to the capital city of Asuncion.

This is changing rapidly, with a number of strategic infrastructure, including double lane highways and large bridges, being build.

As a result of better infrastructure, a significant growth in the value of land is expected. Produced commodities can soon be transported to different markets, including the capital, the Atlantic Ocean or the Pacific Ocean. Better prices and intensified production methods will likely drive the price of farmland up.

The Paraguayan economy recovered strongly in 2021 after two years of recession due to drought in 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Real GDP grew by 4.2% year-on-year in 2021, driven by strong investment growth fixed, both in private and public construction works, as well as by the growth of private consumption.

Generally, Covid restrictions and sanitary measures were kept relatively low in the Chaco region.
