Migration and Paraguayan Food

Modern

Into Paraguay: MENNONITES in the Chaco from 1927; JAPANESE agricultural colonies from 1936 at La Colmena, Yguazú, Pirapó and Amambay, now a significant part of soy and vegetable production; BRAZILIAN farmers — the brasiguayos — across the eastern border since the 1960s, bringing churrasco, feijão and Portuguese; Lebanese and Syrian traders; Koreans and Chinese in Asunción and Ciudad del Este. Out of Paraguay: very large communities in ARGENTINA — the largest immigrant group there — plus Spain, Brazil and the United States.
