Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Bolivia dominates Paraguay's pesticides exports, accounting for 50.18% of value but only 45.58% of weight, signaling a premium market for higher-grade products. Brazil follows as a secondary hub (39.78% value, 41.03% weight), reinforcing regional demand for quality over bulk. Argentina’s stark value-volume gap (28.75% quantity share vs. 3.23% value) reveals its role as a bulk hub for low-margin shipments. The structure highlights a dual-track supply chain: premium focus for Bolivia/Brazil, cost-driven bulk for Argentina. This suggests Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes value segmentation over uniform distribution.
