Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The UNITED STATES dominates Paraguay's Frozen Beef exports, accounting for 23% of value but only 20.22% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade cuts. China Taiwan and Israel follow with similar value-weight gaps (18.96% vs. 17.83% and 17.43% vs. 15.55%), reinforcing a focus on quality-driven destinations. Russia and Chile, however, show tighter ratios (4.48% vs. 6.04% and 3.99% vs. 4.99%), suggesting bulk or mid-tier demand. The supply chain prioritizes premium markets, with secondary flows catering to cost-sensitive hubs. This structure reveals a dual strategy: maximizing value in key markets while maintaining volume efficiency elsewhere.

Paraguay HS Code 0202 Breakdown & Value Logic
