Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's corn exports, accounting for 98.23% of value and 97.97% of weight, revealing a balanced value-volume gap—indicating Brazil serves as both a bulk buyer and a stable revenue source, likely for raw or semi-processed corn. The minimal presence of Uruguay, Oman, and Chile (each <2% share) suggests low diversification, with trade heavily optimized for cost-efficient bulk logistics over niche markets. Argentina’s negligible volume (0.21% weight, 0% value) hints at non-commercial or re-export flows. The structure reflects a commodity-driven supply chain, prioritizing scale over premium pricing.
