Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's milled rice exports, accounting for 64.3% of volume but only 58.9% of value—a bulk hub dynamic where weight outpaces value, signaling cost-driven trade for raw or semi-processed rice. Chile, the second-largest partner, shows a tighter value-volume alignment (20.5% weight, 24.9% value), suggesting slightly higher-margin demand. The value-volume gap across most destinations reveals a supply chain optimized for volume efficiency, with limited premium market penetration. Strategic focus remains on high-volume, low-cost flows rather than value-added specialization.
