Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The Paraguay Pet Food Export market is dominated by Uruguay, which accounts for 70.16% of weight but only 22.49% of value, revealing it as a bulk processing hub for raw or low-value pet food. In stark contrast, the U.S. holds 71.68% of value with just 15.02% of weight, signaling premium demand for high-grade finished products. This value-volume gap exposes a dual-track supply chain: Uruguay absorbs bulk shipments for regional redistribution, while the U.S. drives profitability. The remaining markets (Bolivia, Chile) play marginal roles, reinforcing a cost-efficient but bifurcated trade structure.
