Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's bananas export, accounting for 90.1% of value and 90.95% of weight—a near-parity gap revealing a bulk hub dynamic, where volume and value align closely, suggesting standardized, cost-driven trade. Uruguay, with a marginal 9.89% value share, mirrors this pattern, reinforcing a regional focus on high-volume, low-margin flows. The structure indicates a supply chain optimized for scale over premium differentiation, typical of commodity-driven markets. Strategic priority lies in maintaining cost efficiency rather than pursuing value-added niches.
