Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The Netherlands dominates Paraguay's Ferro-silico-manganese exports, accounting for 46.75% of value but 60.64% of weight, revealing a bulk hub role where volume outweighs premium pricing—likely for raw or lower-grade shipments. Brazil, however, shows a tighter value-volume gap (19.48% value vs. 9.19% weight), hinting at niche demand for higher-grade specs. The structure leans cost-efficient, with high-frequency, high-volume flows to the Netherlands overshadowing premium markets, suggesting Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes scale over margin optimization.

Paraguay HS Code 720221 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals 72022100 (Ferro-silicon, >55% silicon) dominates Paraguay's HS Code 720221 exports at 100% frequency and volume share, with 1.04M tons shipped in January 2025—highlighting a market skewed toward bulk, low-unit-price ferro-alloys. The absence of unit-price data suggests competitiveness hinges on scale over premium value, typical of commodity-driven trade. This sub-code’s monopoly leaves no room for ferro-silico-manganese variants, signaling Paraguay’s export focus on high-volume, standardized silicon-heavy alloys. The market is clearly volume-led, not niche or premium.
