Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Japan dominates Paraguay's sesame seeds exports, accounting for 36.78% of value but only 26.36% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade or processed seeds. Mexico, the top volume partner (35.36% weight share vs. 30.46% value share), acts as a bulk hub, likely for raw material processing or re-export. The value-volume gap reveals a dual strategy: Japan drives premium returns, while Mexico absorbs volume at lower margins. This structure suggests Paraguay’s export chain prioritizes tiered market segmentation—balancing high-value niches with mass throughput. Strategic focus should sustain Japan’s premium demand while optimizing Mexico’s logistics efficiency.
