Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's banana exports, accounting for 95.5% of value and 95.4% of weight—a near-perfect alignment (Value-Weight Gap: 0.1%), indicating a balanced trade flow where volume and price move in lockstep. This suggests Argentina serves as a bulk consumer of standardized-grade bananas, with no premium or discount distortion. The absence of a significant gap implies Paraguay’s supply chain is optimized for steady, mass-market demand rather than niche or high-value segments. Uruguay’s minor role (4.5% value/share) mirrors this pattern. The structure reveals a cost-efficient, volume-driven trade with little differentiation in product tiers.
