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.
