Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's rice exports, accounting for 78.75% of volume but only 75.05% of value, indicating a slight bulk hub dynamic where shipments prioritize scale over premium pricing. Chile, the second-largest destination, shows a wider value-volume gap (8.54% value vs. 6.17% weight), suggesting niche demand for higher-grade rice. The remaining markets (e.g., Senegal, Costa Rica) follow a similar bulk-leaning trend, reinforcing a cost-efficient supply chain optimized for raw material distribution rather than high-margin specialization. This structure highlights Paraguay’s role as a volume-driven exporter in regional trade flows.
