Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's banana exports, accounting for 87.6% of value and 87.9% of weight, indicating a balanced Value-Volume Gap—suggesting a stable, bulk-oriented trade flow without premium pricing. Uruguay, the secondary market, follows a similar pattern (12.3% value vs. 11.9% weight), reinforcing a regional supply chain optimized for cost-efficient volume distribution. The absence of significant value-weight disparities implies Paraguay’s exports are primarily raw or minimally processed, targeting mass consumption rather than niche markets. This structure highlights a reliance on neighboring economies with consistent demand but limited margin upside. Strategic takeaway: Paraguay’s banana trade is volume-driven, hinging on regional proximity and economies of scale.
