Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's rice exports, accounting for 71.72% of volume but only 68.89% of value—a slight Value-Volume Gap indicating Brazil serves as a bulk hub for cost-efficient, large-scale shipments. Chile, the second-largest partner, shows a wider gap (7.52% volume vs. 9.47% value), hinting at marginally higher-value demand. The overall structure leans toward volume-driven trade, prioritizing economies of scale over premium pricing, with Brazil acting as the anchor for raw or semi-processed rice flows. This suggests Paraguay’s export strategy is optimized for cost-competitive bulk markets rather than niche premium segments.

Paraguay HS Code 1006 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS 10063021 (semi/wholly milled rice) dominates Paraguay's exports, capturing 57% of value and 50% of volume, with husked (HS 10062020) and broken rice (HS 10064000) trailing at 21% and 13% respectively. The high volume-to-value ratio suggests a bulk-driven market, where Paraguay leverages scale over premium pricing—confirmed by the absence of unit price data. This aligns with Paraguay HS Code 1006 Export trends favoring processed but mid-value rice, likely targeting cost-sensitive buyers. The sparse presence of premium sub-codes (e.g., paddy rice) reinforces a volume-first strategy.
