Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Paraguay's rapeseed oil exports, accounting for 56.8% of value but only 55.7% of weight, indicating a slight premium market where demand leans toward higher-grade or processed specifications. Brazil follows as a secondary bulk hub, with a narrower value-weight gap (43.2% value vs. 44.3% weight), suggesting cost-efficient raw material flows. The concentration in these two markets reveals a trade structure optimized for stable, high-volume partnerships rather than diversified premium buyers. Strategic focus remains on balancing value retention (Chile) and volume scalability (Brazil).
