Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Gambia dominates Paraguay's paddy rice exports, accounting for 35.3% of volume but only 32% of value, revealing a bulk hub role where lower-value shipments suggest processing or re-export activity. Chile follows with a tighter value-volume gap (21.8% volume vs. 27.3% value), indicating slightly higher-grade demand. The overall structure leans toward cost-efficiency, with high-frequency, high-volume flows to Africa and South America prioritizing scale over premium pricing.
