Mickey was selling foods under that trademark in Paraguay since 1835. When did Disney start competing in that market segment with their Mickey Mouse brand?

well, 01935, not 01835. not a lot of paraguayan businesses from 01835 survive thanks to the war of the triple alliance

Ack, yes, I meant 1935. I'm on mobile and typoed that in a way the spell checker couldn't catch...

Even now in the US I have yet to see Disney selling rice under the Mickey Mouse brand in a way that could be at all confused with the Mickey rice in Paraguay that I grew up with.

To add some context as to why businesses wouldn't survive it, that war happened between 00001864 and 00001870, and wiped more than 00000050% of the male population (estimates vary).
