Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's paddy rice exports, accounting for 95.3% of value and 96.2% of weight, reflecting a balanced Value-Volume Gap that signals bulk commodity trade with minimal premium differentiation. The near-identical ratios suggest Brazil acts as a processing hub for raw Paraguayan rice, prioritizing cost-efficient scale over niche demand. Secondary markets like Portugal (3.8% value, 3.1% weight) mirror this pattern, reinforcing a supply chain optimized for volume-driven logistics. The absence of premium destinations indicates Paraguay’s export strategy hinges on regional proximity and bulk competitiveness, not product specialization.
