2025 Aug Paraguay Frozen beef (HS 0202) Export Snapshot: Volume Dip

August Trend: Paraguay Frozen beef Export

Frozen beef, classified under HS Code 0202 (Meat of bovine animals, frozen), saw exports decline sharply in August, with value dropping 24.49% MoM to $80.96M and volume falling 25.16% to 14.18M kg. This contraction follows a modest 0.89% rise in unit price to $5.71/kg, suggesting weakened demand rather than pricing pressure. The downturn aligns with April's 10% universal tariffs on Paraguayan goods, which may have dampened trade flows. Despite the slump, unit prices remain elevated, up 3.28% from May's $5.72/kg peak. The market shows volatility, with three of the past five months recording double-digit MoM swings in value.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

China Taiwan dominates Paraguay's frozen beef exports, accounting for 20.2% of value but only 17.75% of volume—a Value-Volume Gap signaling premium demand for higher-grade cuts. Israel follows as a secondary premium market (16.43% value vs. 14.32% weight), while Angola and Ghana emerge as bulk hubs (lower value ratios relative to volume). The US, despite high frequency (18.1%), shows weaker value density (11.6% vs. 13.21% weight), suggesting mid-tier positioning. This structure reveals a split strategy: premium Asian markets absorb high-margin cuts, while African and North American flows prioritize volume efficiency.

Paraguay HS Code 0202 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS 02023000 (boneless frozen beef) dominates Paraguay's August 2025 exports, capturing 93% frequency, 99% value, and 99% weight—crushing the distant runner-up (HS 02022090, bone-in cuts). The sheer volume-to-value alignment confirms a bulk-driven, low-margin market, where boneless cuts streamline logistics and maximize weight efficiency. This Paraguay HS Code 0202 export dynamic underscores a focus on high-volume, commoditized trade rather than premium segmentation. The absence of unit price data suggests price transparency is secondary to scale. Expect this structure to persist unless demand shifts toward value-added cuts.
