Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's powdered milk exports, accounting for 100% of both value and weight shares, indicating a tightly concentrated trade flow. The equal value-weight ratio suggests Brazil acts as a bulk hub, absorbing raw or semi-processed powdered milk for further distribution or processing. This structure implies Paraguay's export strategy prioritizes cost-efficient bulk shipments over premium product differentiation. The absence of other significant destinations highlights a high dependency on Brazil, creating potential supply chain risks. The trade is optimized for volume, not value-added margins.
