Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's animal fats exports, accounting for 51.6% of volume but only 49.83% of value, signaling a bulk hub role—likely processing raw materials at scale. The value-volume gap narrows slightly for Uruguay (20.1% volume vs. 18.69% value), reinforcing this cost-driven dynamic. Notably, the U.S. and Hong Kong show inverted ratios (e.g., Hong Kong: 0.68% volume vs. 2.65% value), hinting at niche demand for premium grades. The supply chain is volume-optimized, prioritizing bulk trade over high-margin segments. Strategic shift potential lies in targeting value-heavy markets like the U.S. to diversify revenue streams.

Paraguay HS Code 1502 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS Code 15021012 dominates Paraguay's animal fats exports (82.55% weight share, 80.53% value share), dwarfing 15021011's 17.45% volume. The sheer bulk dominance—11.61M kg vs. 2.45M kg—signals a market skewed toward low-cost, high-volume tallow trade, not premium pricing (unit prices unavailable).
