Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's rice exports, accounting for 72.1% of volume but only 69.14% of value—a slight Value-Volume Gap indicating Brazil serves as a bulk hub for cost-efficient shipments, likely absorbing raw or semi-processed rice. Chile, the second-largest destination, shows a tighter gap (13.6% volume vs. 16.92% value), hinting at marginally higher-value demand. The absence of premium markets (no value >> weight outliers) suggests Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes scale over specialization, with supply chains optimized for volume-driven trade.
