AGROINFO - Paraguayan farmers will finish sowing 2010/11 soybeans in the next few days and production is expected to dip slightly to about 7 million tonnes, an industry group said on Wednesday.

Paraguay is the fourth-largest soybean exporter, though it trails far behind neighboring agricultural giants Brazil and Argentina. The landlocked country produced a record-high crop of 7.4 million tonnes last season.

"We're looking at an output of about 7 million tonnes, a little less of what we had this year ... rainfall has been adequate, and we're doing well," said Luis Cubilla, an advisor for the Paraguayan Chamber of Cereals and Oilseeds Exporters (CAPECO).
