Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's aluminium scrap exports, accounting for 72.5% of value but only 69.63% of weight, signaling a slight premium for higher-grade or processed material. India, the second-largest destination, shows a reverse gap (14.06% value vs. 17.28% weight), acting as a bulk hub for raw scrap. The minimal presence of developed markets (US, UK) with tighter value-weight ratios suggests Paraguay’s trade is skewed toward cost-efficient bulk buyers rather than high-margin niches. This structure reveals a supply chain optimized for volume over value, with Brazil as the primary arbiter of quality.
