Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's plastic bottles export structure, accounting for 83.07% of value but 84.91% of weight, revealing a bulk-driven trade with minimal value-weight divergence. This suggests Brazil acts as a high-volume processing hub for raw or low-margin plastic bottles, prioritizing cost-efficient logistics over premium demand. Argentina, the secondary market, follows a similar pattern (14.76% value vs. 13.25% weight), reinforcing the regional reliance on bulk trade. The absence of premium destinations (value << weight) indicates Paraguay’s export strategy is optimized for scale, not specialization. Supply chains here favor mass production and proximity over value-added differentiation.
