Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's corn exports, accounting for 98.5% of volume and 98.55% of value, revealing a balanced value-volume gap—indicating Brazil serves as a bulk hub for raw corn with no premium pricing. The near-identical ratios suggest Paraguay's supply chain is optimized for cost-efficient mass trade rather than high-margin specialization. Uruguay and Chile, with minimal shares (1-2%), play negligible roles, reinforcing Brazil's strategic lock on this flow. The data confirms Paraguay's export structure is volume-driven, prioritizing scale over product differentiation.
