Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's rice exports, accounting for 77.95% of volume but only 72.28% of value—a Value-Volume Gap indicating Brazil serves as a bulk hub for cost-efficient raw material shipments. Chile, the second-largest partner, shows a narrower gap (12.05% volume vs. 15.99% value), hinting at slightly higher-margin demand. The remaining markets are fragmented, with minimal volume and value shares, reflecting a trade structure optimized for scale over premium pricing. This suggests Paraguay’s rice supply chain prioritizes high-volume, low-margin flows to regional buyers.

Paraguay HS Code 1006 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals 10063021 (semi/wholly milled rice) dominates Paraguay's HS Code 1006 exports, capturing 45.98% of value and 38.72% of volume—far outpacing husked (10062020) and broken rice (10064000). The Paraguay HS Code 1006 Export market leans on processed, mid-tier rice (polished/milled), suggesting buyers prioritize consistent quality over premium or bulk raw variants. With lower-value broken rice (10.31% value share) trailing, this signals a volume-driven trade where standardized milling meets mainstream demand, not luxury niches.
