Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's aluminium scrap exports, accounting for 71.94% of value but only 65.08% of weight—a Value-Volume Gap signaling premium demand for higher-grade material. The US and India follow with narrower gaps, suggesting balanced trade, while Spain’s low value share (0.10%) despite 2.14% weight hints at bulk processing or re-export. This structure reveals Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes high-margin markets (Brazil) over volume, with secondary flows serving logistical or intermediate hubs. The supply chain is value-optimized, targeting quality-sensitive buyers.
