Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
The UNITED STATES dominates Paraguay's raw cane sugar exports, accounting for 47.42% of volume but only 42.49% of value, signaling a bulk hub role where shipments prioritize scale over premium pricing. Canada follows with a tighter value-volume gap (23.82% value vs. 19.48% weight), suggesting slightly higher-margin demand. The broader pattern reveals cost-driven logistics, with most partners (e.g., Netherlands, France) absorbing raw volumes at lower unit prices, indicating a supply chain optimized for bulk efficiency rather than value-added processing.
