2025 Aug Paraguay Rapeseed Oil (HS1514) Export Snapshot: Vol Dip

August Trend: Paraguay Rapeseed Oil Export

Rapeseed Oil, classified under HS Code 1514 (Rape, colza or mustard oil and fractions thereof, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified), saw exports plummet in August, with value dropping 78.16% MoM to $1.25M USD and volume falling 78.70% MoM to 948K kg. This sharp decline followed a strong July, where unit prices had risen 12.58% MoM to $1.28/kg. The August unit price edged up 2.54% MoM to $1.32/kg, suggesting tighter supply despite the export slump. The drop aligns with broader trade disruptions, as 10% universal tariffs on imports took effect in April 2025, potentially dampening global demand. Paraguay’s rapeseed oil trade remains volatile, with June and July showing explosive growth before August’s contraction.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Paraguay's rapeseed oil exports, capturing 56.8% of the value share but only 55.7% of the weight, indicating a slight premium market for higher-grade oil. Brazil follows closely with 43.2% value share and 44.3% weight share, suggesting a balanced trade dynamic. The tight alignment between value and weight ratios implies Paraguay’s exports are priced efficiently, with no extreme bulk or premium skew. This structure points to a stable, demand-driven supply chain optimized for consistent trade flows rather than speculative or high-margin plays. The market logic favors steady volume over niche pricing.

Paraguay HS Code 1514 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals 15141100 (crude low-erucic rapeseed oil) dominates Paraguay HS Code 1514 exports, capturing 100% of volume (948K kg) and value ($1.25M) in August 2025. The absence of unit price data suggests a bulk-driven market, where Paraguay’s competitive edge lies in scale over premium pricing. This aligns with global demand for cost-efficient vegetable oils, with no sub-codes challenging its volume supremacy. The export profile confirms a low-margin, high-volume strategy—typical for commodity-grade rapeseed oil. Expect stability in this trade lane unless price volatility or quality upgrades disrupt the status quo.
