Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Paraguay's paddy rice exports, accounting for 42.5% of value but only 35% of weight—a Value-Volume Gap signaling premium demand for higher-grade rice. Gambia and Brazil, with lower value shares relative to weight, act as bulk hubs for raw or lower-spec shipments. The structure reveals a dual-track supply chain: Chile drives margin optimization, while secondary markets absorb volume at lower margins. Strategic priority leans toward premium markets, but reliance on bulk buyers indicates cost-sensitive diversification.
