Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's animal fats exports, accounting for 62.1% of volume but only 58.4% of value, indicating a bulk hub role where raw materials are processed rather than consumed as premium goods. The value-volume gap narrows slightly in the U.S. (18.9% volume vs. 20.1% value), suggesting marginally higher-grade demand. Egypt and Uruguay show tighter alignment, hinting at balanced trade flows. The structure reveals a cost-driven supply chain, prioritizing bulk logistics over high-margin specialization.
