Katueté, a town in the Canindeyú Department of north-eastern Paraguay, lies about 380 kilometres east of Asunción along Route 10 in a fertile agricultural region dominated by soybean farming and close to the Brazilian border. It was recognised as an independent municipality in 1980 and developed rapidly thanks to the state colonisation policy that directed Brazilian immigrants into the former Atlantic Forest area. The name comes from Guaraní and means best choice or chosen place. With around 30 000 inhabitants, a large share of whom speak Portuguese, Katueté is a typical Brasiguayo centre with a pronounced Brazilian culture. Economically the town relies on soybean, maize and wheat farming, cattle ranching, forestry and soybean processing, the region is one of the most productive soybean zones in Paraguay. Several large cooperatives and soybean mills operate here. Notable sights include the modern parish church, the Mercado Municipal and the vast surrounding soybean fields.
