Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Brazil dominates Paraguay's rice exports, accounting for 76% of volume but only 72.6% of value—a slight Value-Volume Gap indicating a bulk hub role for raw or semi-processed rice. Chile follows as a secondary market with a tighter gap (11.4% volume vs. 14.5% value), suggesting marginally higher-value demand. The structure reveals a cost-driven supply chain, prioritizing scale over premium pricing, with Brazil serving as the primary throughput channel for volume efficiency.
