Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's corn exports, accounting for 91.87% of value and 91.58% of weight, indicating a balanced Value-Volume Gap—trade is neither premium nor bulk, but cost-driven commodity flow. Uruguay, the secondary market (8.13% value, 8.42% weight), mirrors this efficiency, suggesting Paraguay’s supply chain is optimized for scale over specialization. The absence of high-value skews implies price-sensitive demand, with Brazil acting as a regional conduit rather than a premium buyer. Strategic priority: volume stability over margin expansion.
