Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Paraguay's beef meat exports, accounting for 72.5% of value but 75.8% of weight, revealing a bulk hub dynamic where volume slightly outpaces value—indicating cost-efficient, large-scale shipments rather than premium cuts. Brazil and Israel follow with aligned value-weight ratios, suggesting balanced trade flows. The absence of a value-weight gap across most markets implies Paraguay’s exports prioritize commodity-grade beef over niche products, with Chile serving as the primary throughput channel. This structure signals a supply chain optimized for scale, not premiumization.
