Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's Metal closures exports, accounting for 50.23% of value but only 47.29% of weight, signaling a premium market where higher-value, possibly finished or specialized products are demanded. Bolivia and Chile follow with significant volume shares (22.46% and 27.75% of quantity, respectively) but lower value ratios, suggesting they act as bulk hubs for cost-sensitive trade. The stark value-volume gap reveals Paraguay’s export strategy: high-margin focus on Argentina alongside volume-driven flows to neighboring economies. This structure implies supply chain bifurcation—premium vs. commodity—with Argentina as the priority.
