Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Costa Rica dominates Paraguay's Paddy Rice exports, accounting for 100% of both value ($8.62M) and weight (25M units), revealing a balanced trade structure—neither premium nor bulk-focused. This suggests Costa Rica serves as a primary end-market with consistent demand for Paraguay's standard-grade rice, likely for direct consumption rather than processing. The absence of a value-volume gap indicates stable pricing and predictable logistics, optimizing for reliability over premium margins. For Paraguay, this signals a low-risk, high-dependency trade relationship with limited diversification. Strategic focus should remain on maintaining Costa Rica's market share while exploring secondary buyers to mitigate concentration risk.
