Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Italy dominates Paraguay's leather hides exports, accounting for 56.5% of value but only 53.8% of weight, signaling a premium market demand for higher-grade or processed hides. China and Brazil follow as bulk hubs (value share < weight share), indicating raw material processing roles. Notably, Thailand’s 5.8x value-to-weight gap (5.75% value vs. 0.73% weight) reveals a niche for high-value specialty hides. The structure shows a bifurcated supply chain: Italy drives premiumization, while Asia and South America focus on cost-efficient bulk trade. Paraguay’s exports are strategically split between quality and volume buyers.
