Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's rice exports, accounting for 59.75% of value and 56.13% of weight, revealing a slight premium market tilt where value outpaces volume—indicating demand for higher-grade rice. Costa Rica, the second-largest partner, shows a sharper value-volume gap (20.43% value vs. 27.31% weight), functioning as a bulk hub for processed or lower-cost shipments. The remaining markets (Chile, UK, Israel) are marginal, with balanced ratios, suggesting standardized trade flows. This structure highlights a supply chain optimized for cost-efficient bulk trade, with Brazil as the premium anchor. Strategic focus should prioritize Brazil’s quality demand while streamlining bulk logistics for secondary markets.

Paraguay HS Code 1006 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals 10063021 (semi/wholly milled rice) dominates Paraguay’s February 2025 exports, claiming 59% frequency and 42% value share—driven by bulk volume (33M kg) rather than premium pricing (unit price null). The remaining sub-codes, like husked rice (10062020) and broken rice (10064000), trail significantly in volume and value, highlighting a Paraguay HS Code 1006 Export market skewed toward processed, mid-tier rice for mass demand. This confirms a low-margin, high-volume trade strategy, with minimal premium product penetration.
