Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's paper and paperboard exports, accounting for 55.86% of value and 56.77% of weight, revealing a balanced Value-Volume Gap—indicating commodity-grade trade with no premium markup. Chile follows as a secondary bulk hub (40.92% value vs. 39.89% weight), reinforcing a cost-driven supply chain optimized for regional processing rather than high-end demand. The absence of significant premium markets suggests Paraguay’s exports are raw or semi-finished materials, with Brazil acting as the primary conduit for volume-driven trade.
