Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The United States dominates Paraguay's oilseeds exports, accounting for 33.35% of value but only 28.81% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade or processed oilseeds. The Netherlands and Germany follow, with value shares closely aligned with weight, suggesting balanced trade flows without significant premium or bulk bias. Notably, Mexico has a higher weight share (5.71%) than value (3.96%), indicating it may act as a bulk processing hub for raw materials. The overall structure reveals a focus on high-value markets, with the U.S. driving premium demand while secondary partners handle volume. This suggests a supply chain optimized for value capture over pure volume efficiency.

Paraguay HS Code 1207 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS Code 12079990 (Oil seeds and oleaginous fruits; n.e.c.) dominates Paraguay's Q1 2025 exports, capturing 84.5% frequency and 83.5% value—a clear bulk-volume play. The absence of unit pricing for top sub-codes suggests a market driven by low-cost, high-volume commodities rather than premium differentiation. Remaining sub-codes (like sesamum and castor seeds) collectively contribute just 16.5% value, reinforcing the focus on undifferentiated oilseeds. This signals Paraguay’s HS Code 1207 export strategy prioritizes scale over specialization, typical of price-sensitive agricultural markets.
