Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's banana exports, accounting for 98.33% of both value and weight shares, indicating a tightly aligned trade structure with no significant value-volume gap. This suggests Argentina serves as a bulk hub for Paraguay's bananas, likely absorbing raw or minimally processed volumes at scale. The near-identical ratios imply a commodity-driven relationship, prioritizing volume over premium differentiation. With Uruguay as the only other minor player (1.67% share), the market logic leans heavily toward cost-efficiency, with limited diversification or value-added demand. The supply chain is optimized for predictable, high-volume flows to a single destination.

Paraguay HS Code 080390 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals 08039000 (fresh/dried bananas, excluding plantains) dominates Paraguay's exports at 100% frequency and volume share (6.5M kg, $2.9M value), with no other sub-codes registering meaningful activity. The absence of unit price data suggests a market driven by bulk volume over premium pricing, typical for commodity-grade fruit. This Paraguay HS Code 080390 Export pattern aligns with low-margin, high-volume agricultural trade, where scale outweighs differentiation. The lack of diversified sub-codes indicates minimal product segmentation—Paraguay’s banana trade remains a monolithic, volume-first operation. Expect stability in this structure unless value-added processing (e.g., dried slices) emerges.
