Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Paraguay's pork carcasses export destinations, accounting for 74.65% of value but only 77.23% of weight—a slight Value-Volume Gap indicating balanced trade with marginal premium potential. Brazil, the second-largest partner, shows a similar pattern (12.38% value vs. 12.73% weight), reinforcing a bulk-oriented supply chain optimized for cost-efficiency over high-margin demand. The absence of significant value-weight disparities suggests Paraguay's exports are primarily commodity-grade, with no dominant premium or processing hub dynamic. Strategic focus remains on volume-driven markets in South America.
