Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Mexico dominates Paraguay's sesame seeds exports, accounting for 37.5% of shipments by frequency and 39.96% by weight, but only 35.73% by value—revealing a slight bulk hub role where volume outweighs premium pricing. Japan, however, shows the opposite value-volume gap (20.74% value share vs. 12.41% weight), signaling demand for higher-grade sesame. The broader pattern highlights a cost-driven supply chain, with most top destinations (e.g., China, Vietnam) prioritizing raw material processing over premium margins. Strategic focus should balance Mexico’s scale with Japan’s premium potential.
