Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Costa Rica dominates Paraguay's Paddy Rice exports, accounting for 86.4% of volume but 88% of value, indicating a premium market where demand aligns closely with weight—suggesting stable, high-grade shipments. Brazil, with 13.6% volume and 12% value, mirrors this balance, reinforcing a trade structure optimized for consistent quality over bulk discounts. The tight value-volume gap across both markets implies Paraguay’s supply chain is calibrated for reliable, high-value buyers rather than low-margin bulk hubs. Strategic focus remains on preserving quality premiums, not cost-driven logistics.
