August Trend: Paraguay Bananas Export
Bananas, classified under HS Code 0803 (Bananas, including plantains, fresh or dried.), saw mixed trends in August 2025, with unit prices rising 18.75% MoM to $0.45/kg despite a 10.53% drop in export value ($1.84M USD) and a 24.65% contraction in volume (4.09M kg). The price rebound followed a 19.30% slump in June, though export volumes have now declined for three consecutive months.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Argentina dominates Paraguay's banana exports, accounting for 95.85% of value and 96.39% of weight, indicating a bulk hub dynamic where volume and value align closely—suggesting commodity-grade trade with minimal premium differentiation. Uruguay, a minor player (4.15% value, 3.61% weight), mirrors this pattern, reinforcing a cost-driven supply chain optimized for mass distribution rather than high-value niches. The near-identical ratios across all metrics reveal a market logic prioritizing scale over specialization, with Argentina serving as the primary conduit for Paraguay’s banana exports.
