Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's rice exports, accounting for 74.85% of volume but only 73.16% of value—a negligible gap, indicating a balanced trade relationship where Brazil serves as both a bulk buyer and a stable market. Chile, the second-largest destination, shows a slight premium (21.05% value vs. 19.58% weight), suggesting modest demand for higher-quality rice. The remaining markets are marginal, with no significant value-volume disparities, revealing a trade structure optimized for volume-driven, cost-efficient exports to neighboring economies. This reinforces Paraguay's role as a regional supplier of competitively priced rice, prioritizing scale over niche premium markets.
