Paraguay generates a vast surplus of hydroelectricity from the Itaipú and Yacyretá dams, exporting most of it, yet it imports every drop of liquid fuel. It is a major soybean and beef exporter. Landlocked, it depends on river navigation that drought can paralyse.
Paraguay has suffered severe drought, with the Paraguay and Paraná rivers falling to historic lows.
