Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Paraguay's rapeseed oil exports, accounting for 55.78% of value but only 53.81% of weight, signaling a slight premium market where Chile pays marginally more per unit, likely for higher-grade or processed oil. Brazil and Uruguay follow as bulk hubs, with weight shares (23.32%, 14.80%) closely tracking value shares (23.51%, 13.60%), indicating standardized, commodity-driven trade. The absence of a major value-weight gap suggests Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes volume efficiency over premium pricing, with Chile as the primary high-value outlier.
