Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's banana exports with 100% value and weight shares, indicating a tightly concentrated trade flow. The equal value-weight ratio suggests Argentina acts as a bulk hub, absorbing raw volumes without premium differentiation—likely for regional redistribution or processing. This structure reveals a cost-driven supply chain, prioritizing mass logistics over value-added trade. For April 2025, Paraguay’s export strategy hinges on Argentina’s demand elasticity, with no diversification to mitigate dependency risks.
