Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's banana exports, accounting for 97.93% of value and 98.08% of weight, revealing a balanced value-volume gap—suggesting a bulk-oriented trade with no premium pricing. Uruguay, though minor (2.07% value share), shows a slight value premium over weight (1.92%), hinting at niche demand.

This structure implies Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes scale over differentiation, with Argentina acting as the primary bulk hub.
