Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's copper scrap exports, accounting for 44.4% of value vs. 42.6% of weight, indicating balanced demand for mid-grade material. China, the second-largest destination, shows a tighter value-weight gap (22.8% vs. 25.9%), suggesting bulk processing of lower-value scrap. The absence of premium markets (where value >> weight) implies Paraguay’s exports are commodity-driven, with buyers prioritizing volume over quality. This structure points to a cost-sensitive supply chain, likely feeding industrial smelters rather than high-end manufacturers. Strategic focus remains on regional bulk trade, not premium specialization.
