Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Paraguay’s beef meat exports, accounting for 71.7% of value but 73.4% of weight, revealing a near-parity "Value-Volume Gap" that signals bulk trade of standardized product rather than premium cuts. This tight alignment suggests Chile acts as a high-volume hub, likely for further processing or redistribution, with minimal price differentiation. Secondary markets like Brazil and Israel show similar efficiency, indicating a cost-driven supply chain optimized for scale over niche demand. The absence of premium outliers (e.g., Switzerland, UK with <2% value share) confirms Paraguay’s focus on commoditized beef exports. Strategic priority: maintain price competitiveness in bulk markets while probing for higher-margin opportunities.
