Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's Paddy Rice exports, accounting for 48.3% of volume but only 43.8% of value—revealing a bulk hub role where raw materials are processed at scale. Chile follows as a secondary market with a narrower gap (24.5% volume vs. 26.1% value), suggesting slightly higher-margin demand. The value-volume gap across top destinations (e.g., Senegal’s 9.9% volume vs. 13.0% value) hints at fragmented premium niches, but the overall structure prioritizes cost-efficient bulk trade over high-value specialization. Paraguay’s export strategy is volume-driven, leveraging proximity to regional processors.
