Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Japan dominates Paraguay's copper scrap exports, accounting for 36.3% of value but only 35% of weight, signaling a slight premium for higher-grade material. Brazil follows as a bulk hub (27.6% value vs. 27.5% weight), suggesting balanced trade in raw scrap. The tight alignment of value and weight ratios across most partners (e.g., China, South Korea) reveals a commodity-driven market where volume dictates trade flows. This structure implies Paraguay’s exports are price-sensitive, with minimal differentiation in scrap quality. The supply chain is optimized for bulk efficiency rather than premium segmentation.
