Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Bolivia dominates Paraguay's retail medicaments exports with 26.6% frequency and 11.9% value share, but its 18.35% quantity share reveals a value-volume gap: higher-value shipments (likely finished goods) to a premium market. Ecuador, however, shows the opposite pattern—26.96% quantity share but only 10.95% value share—suggesting a bulk hub for raw materials. The supply chain is bifurcated: Bolivia drives margins, while Ecuador handles volume, indicating a strategy balancing premium demand and cost-efficient bulk trade for Paraguay's retail medicaments exports.
