Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's animal fats exports, accounting for 57.57% of value and 60.08% of weight, indicating a bulk hub relationship where volume drives trade over premium pricing. The value-volume gap is minimal, suggesting Brazil processes raw materials rather than demanding high-grade products. The U.S. follows as a secondary premium market (23.23% value vs. 20.88% weight), implying some demand for higher-value specs. The supply chain is cost-efficient but lacks high-margin diversification, with Brazil absorbing most volume at stable, lower-value terms. Strategic shifts could target premium markets like the U.S. to improve margins.

Paraguay HS Code 1502 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS Code 15021012 dominates Paraguay’s animal fats exports (88% of volume, 88% of value), dwarfing other sub-codes like 15021011 (12% share). The absence of unit price data suggests bulk, low-margin trade—typical for commodity-grade tallow. This Paraguay HS Code 1502 Export pattern confirms a volume-driven market, prioritizing scale over premium pricing. The near-identical weight-to-value ratios indicate minimal price differentiation, reinforcing a commoditized sector. Expect stability in this low-cost bulk trade unless demand shifts toward specialized fats.
