Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

China Taiwan dominates Paraguay's frozen pork exports, accounting for 87.2% of value but only 82.5% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade cuts or processed products. Uruguay and Georgia, with lower value-to-weight ratios, act as bulk hubs for cheaper, unprocessed shipments. This value-volume gap reveals a dual strategy: premium pricing in Taiwan and cost-driven volume elsewhere. The supply chain is split between high-margin and high-efficiency routes, with Taiwan as the profit anchor.

Paraguay HS Code 020329 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS Code 02032900 ("Meat; of swine, frozen") dominates Paraguay's Q1 2025 frozen pork exports, capturing 100% of volume (2.83M kg) and value ($9.22M).
