Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Paraguay's metal bottle caps exports, accounting for 63.8% of value but 70.7% of weight, revealing a bulk hub dynamic where volume outweighs premium pricing—likely supplying raw or semi-processed materials. Argentina and Bolivia follow with similar weight-value alignment, reinforcing a cost-driven trade structure focused on regional processing rather than high-end demand. This suggests Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes scale over specialization, with Chile serving as the primary conduit for mass-volume shipments.
