April Trend: Paraguay Paddy Rice Export

Paddy Rice, classified under HS Code 100620 (Rice in the husk (paddy or rough)), saw exports decline in April, with value dropping 14.55% MoM to $14.20M and volume falling 10.58% to 38.57M kg. Unit prices continued their downward trend, slipping 4.44% to $0.37/kg, marking the third consecutive monthly drop. The slowdown follows a surge in February and March, suggesting potential market saturation or shifting demand.

Paraguay's export momentum has cooled after a strong Q1 performance.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's Paddy Rice exports, accounting for 85.75% of value and 90.76% of weight, revealing a bulk hub dynamic where high-volume, low-margin trade prevails. The tight alignment between value and weight shares indicates Brazil processes Paraguayan rice into downstream products rather than consuming it as premium-grade. The UK and Portugal, though minor players, show a slight premium tilt (value share > weight share), hinting at niche demand for higher-quality rice. This structure suggests Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes scale and cost-efficiency over premiumization, with Brazil acting as the primary processing conduit.
