May Trend: Paraguay Pesticides Export

Pesticides, classified under HS Code 3808 (Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, anti-sprouting products and plant-growth regulators, disinfectants and similar products, put up in forms or packings for retail sale or as preparations or articles (for example, sulphur-treated bands, wicks and candles, and fly-papers)), saw mixed trends in Paraguay's May exports. Unit prices jumped 18.48% MoM to $5.78/kg, but export value fell 15.03% to $2.59M USD as volumes dropped sharply by 28.29% to 447.72K kg. This follows April's decline in both value (-18.06%) and weight (-9.36%), suggesting tightening supply or shifting demand. The March tariff revision (HTS 2025 Revision 5) may have influenced earlier volatility, but no direct link to May's data is evident. Price resilience amid shrinking volumes points to potential cost pressures or premium product shifts.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Bolivia dominates Paraguay's pesticides exports, accounting for 94.4% of value but just 91.2% of weight, signaling a premium market for higher-grade products. The slight value-weight gap suggests Bolivia pays marginally more per unit, likely for specialized formulations. Colombia and Argentina, with 20.4% and 15.1% weight shares but minimal value contributions, act as bulk hubs for cheaper, commoditized pesticides. The absence of re-export flows (e.g., Paraguay→Paraguay) confirms no domestic inventory staging, focusing instead on direct regional trade. This structure reveals a bifurcated supply chain: premium demand in Bolivia vs. volume-driven bulk trade elsewhere.
