Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Canada dominates Paraguay's ferro-silico-manganese exports, accounting for 44.9% of value but only 40.2% of weight, signaling a premium market demand for higher-grade or specialized specifications. Brazil, the second-largest partner, shows a similar but less pronounced gap (24.6% value vs. 19.5% weight), reinforcing the trend of value-driven trade. The Netherlands, however, reverses this with 14.1% weight share dwarfing its 6.9% value share, acting as a bulk hub for lower-margin shipments. This split suggests Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes premium markets while leveraging bulk routes for volume balance. The supply chain is thus bifurcated: high-value focus (Canada/Brazil) and cost-efficient mass logistics (Netherlands).

Paraguay HS Code 720221 Breakdown & Value Logic
yTrade data reveals 72022100 (Ferro-silicon >55% silicon) dominates Paraguay's HS Code 720221 exports in Q3 2025, capturing 100% of volume (3.27M tons) and value ($5.03M). The absence of unit price data suggests a bulk-driven market, where scale outweighs premium pricing—typical for low-margin ferro-alloys. This Paraguay HS Code 720221 Export pattern confirms a volume-centric trade, with secondary sub-codes collectively negligible. Expect stability in bulk demand unless silicon price volatility disrupts cost structures.
