Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Paraguay's fresh pork exports, accounting for 72.45% of value but 75.78% of weight, revealing a bulk hub dynamic—trade is volume-driven, likely supplying raw or minimally processed pork for further distribution. The slight value deficit (72.45% vs. 75.78% weight share) suggests thin margins, prioritizing cost-efficient logistics over premium pricing. Secondary markets like Brazil and Israel show similar bulk tendencies, reinforcing a commodity-driven export strategy. The structure indicates Paraguay’s supply chain is optimized for scale, not value-added differentiation.
