Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Paraguay's broken rice exports, accounting for 70.3% of value but only 62.8% of weight, signaling a premium market where buyers prioritize higher-grade or processed rice. The Netherlands and Israel show similar value-weight gaps (4.8% vs. 4.3%, 4.5% vs. 3.6%), reinforcing demand for quality over bulk. In contrast, Gambia and Brazil handle higher volumes (8.8% and 8.3% weight shares) but lower value shares (6.3% and 4.9%), acting as bulk hubs for raw material redistribution. This split reveals a dual-strategy supply chain: premium markets drive margins, while bulk hubs optimize volume. Paraguay’s trade structure leans toward value capture, but relies on cost-efficient logistics for mass-volume partners.
